Your New Company
An established and highly respected UK property consultancy is seeking to appoint a Senior Surveyor or Associate Director to join its successful Commercial Agency team. With a strong regional presence, an excellent client base and a collaborative culture, the business has built a reputation for delivering expert advice across the commercial property market. Due to continued growth and an increasing workload, an opportunity has arisen for an experienced agency professional to play a key role in the team's ongoing success.
Your New Role
You will be responsible for advising clients on the acquisition and disposal of commercial property across a range of sectors, including office, industrial and retail assets. Working closely with landlords, occupiers, investors and developers, you will manage instructions from initial marketing through to successful completion. The role will involve conducting viewings, negotiating lease and sale terms, providing market advice, developing client relationships and contributing to business development initiatives. This position offers genuine scope to influence the growth of the agency team and progress your career within a market-leading consultancy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
