Currie & Brown is looking for a building surveying graduate to join the company as trainee surveyor in our Bristol offices. Candidates should meet the following requirements:

• Strong numeracy skills
• Excellent written and spoken communication
• Able to foster relationships with professionals of all levels
• Analytical approach to problem-solving
• Willing to travel (graduates will be expected to work on projects across various UK locations in order to gain breadth of experience, although the base location will remain constant)
• Commitment to the company's rigorous training programme
• Well-organised with the ability to prioritise tasks and manage their time

Responsibilities include:

• Having full involvement in projects from the start: the role is varied and no two projects are the same
• Managing relationships with clients, contractors and colleagues
• Conducting individual study in your own time towards achieving chartered surveyor status

Training and progression (APC programme):

We will provide training through our industry-leading structured RICS APC programme. With your commitment and our support, you'll become a chartered surveyor in a minimum of two years (longer if a conversion course is required).

• Self-study outside business hours (typically around two hours a day)
• Mentorship from an experienced colleague
• Training sessions with an external APC coach
• Quarterly assessments
• Coaching in soft skills
• Individual face-to-face and telephone support in the six months leading up to the final assessment
