Work placements

Our work placement programme allows all our future real estate leaders to gain maximum knowledge whilst experiencing the day-to-day role.

We believe access to experience matters. Our work placement programme is designed to help you build a clearer picture of your future in the built environment, through hands on experience and real exposure to our day to day work.

Our structured work placement programme helps support social mobility and provide meaningful opportunities for university students. Placements range from one week to summer opportunities to year out roles, offering insight into both real estate and the wider professional services sector.

Opportunities are available across our UK offices as they arise. If you have a passion for real estate and want to learn more about the industry, we encourage you to apply and see how we can support your next steps.

Applications for our formal placement programme open in November, with interviews taking place in January.
