Graduate Surveyor

A graduate surveying role at Rund offering hands-on experience across construction projects while developing skills through training, site work, and a structured pathway to chartership.

Are you curious, ambitious, and keen to build a career in the built environment? Rund, a Top 150 built environment consultancy with offices across the UK, is looking for motivated graduates to join our Graduate programme in both our Birmingham and Bristol teams. 

requirements

Unlike many graduate programmes, you'll gain broad exposure across multiple sectors - including commercial, residential, education, and arts & leisure - and across disciplines spanning building consultancy, cost consultancy, project management, and more. Every day is different, blending office and site-based work.

We're proud to grow our own talent, and our structured pathway gives you a clear route from Graduate Surveyor all the way through to Director, supported by a fully funded RICS-accredited Master's degree, an established APC pathway, regular 1-2-1s with your line manager, and six-monthly appraisals to keep your progression on track.

We're looking for people who are genuinely enthusiastic about a career in construction, collaborative by nature, and eager to learn - your degree subject matters less than your drive and potential.

In return, you'll get a competitive salary, a recently refreshed benefits package, private medical cover, enhanced family leave, mentoring, and a strong social culture that extends well beyond the office.

Job summary

You will be joining an established and friendly team, with surveying experience ranging from Director to junior level. From day one, you'll follow a clearly defined development pathway with a bespoke training plan tailored to your experience, interests, and ambitions.

In your first two years, you'll undertake a part-time RICS-accredited Master's degree alongside practical, hands-on project work designed to build exposure to the key competencies required for chartership. From year two onwards, you'll commence the APC process with structured support including bi-monthly Q&A sessions, regular 1-2-1s with your APC counsellor, in-house and external review sessions, and mock exams - with the goal of achieving chartership on your terms and your timeline.

Opportunities for development and role diversification are regularly reviewed on a bi-annual basis to ensure your career goals are on track. We place a strong emphasis on growing our own talent, so opportunities for progression are bountiful - many of our senior staff joined at graduate level, and our pathway runs from Graduate Surveyor all the way through to Director.
