Job description

Trainee Residential Surveyor Programme

As the future of e.surv, our trainee surveyors play a vital role in shaping our company. Surveying is in our DNA and we’re passionate about inspiring the next generation of property experts. If you’re thinking of training to be a residential surveyor, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve worked with our most experienced technical experts to develop a comprehensive training programme which gives our Trainees exposure to a wide range of property types and scenarios. You’ll also benefit from an established mentoring scheme.
You wouldn’t expect anything less from a business with our heritage, would you? What you might not expect is the friendly and resourceful central team providing invaluable support to all our customers and clients; or the commitment to the personal and professional development of all our people. When you factor in the flexible benefits, Share Save and BAYE schemes, and our fresh approach to incentive earnings, you start to understand that we do things a little differently at e.surv. Do you have that certain something needed to join our team?

Intent on continuing this success, we’re now inviting applications for our January 2023 intake of trainees. It’s a good time to become a surveyor, and an even better time to join e.surv.

To be considered for the trainee programme, you will need to be eligible for the 1-year route to AssocRICS accreditation and have a strong base knowledge of Residential Building Pathology. The criteria is:

• A RICS or CIOB accredited degree or post-graduate qualification, plus a minimum of one-year industry relevant work experience.
• A RICS approved HND, HNC, NVQ Level 3 diploma, BTEC or foundation degree, plus a minimum of two years of industry relevant work experience.
• 4+ years of industry relevant experience.

We are also interested in applications from candidates who have completed the SAVA Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation.

Have you got what's needed to join our team?

• Do you meet the eligibility criteria?
• Do you have a genuine passion for property and strong pathology knowledge?
• Do you have excellent verbal and written communication skills?
• Are you able to work as part of a team and build effective working relationships?
• Do you have strong problem solving and analytical skills, initiative and a proactive approach?

What’s in it for you?

Naturally, we expect you to work hard, learn quickly, ask lots of questions, and have some fun along the way. In return, you’ll benefit from the support and expertise of our experienced team, together with a competitive salary and a benefits package that includes:

• Sponsorship for the AssocRICS qualification (including payment of all RICS fees)
• Company car or car allowance
• Pension
• 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays (after AssocRICS qualification)
• Private medical insurance (after AssocRICS qualification)
• Death in service assurance
• Share incentive schemes
