Our client is based in Woking, Surrey, and is recruiting for a Trainee Property Surveyor. While comprehensive specialist training will be provided, candidates must possess a practical understanding of building construction and property maintenance.

- Site Inspections: Assist with carrying out non-destructive moisture testing, sub-floor inspections, and structural assessments.
- Report Writing: Learn to compile clear, professional inspection reports, CAD drawings/sketches, and remedial cost estimates using company software.
- Equipment Care: Maintain diagnostic tools (electrical resistance meters, carbide meters, thermal imaging equipment, and hygrometers).
- Client Interaction: Represent the company professionally on-site, communicating findings to homeowners, landlords, and estate agents.
- Compliance & Safety: Adhere to health and safety regulations, particularly regarding working in confined spaces, at heights, and handling remedial materials safely.
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.
