Graduate Programme

Becoming a Chartered Surveyor or Planner is a major achievement but it’s just one step in a much bigger career journey. 

Our Grow Framework helps you keep moving forward, supporting your development well beyond qualification. 

As your experience grows, your career could progress from Surveyor or Planner to Senior Surveyor, Associate, Partner, Equity Partner and beyond. 

You’ll have the opportunity to shape a career around your strengths, interests and ambitions and to explore what success looks like for you.

We welcome graduates from a wide range of degree backgrounds and value the transferable skills, perspectives and experiences you can bring. 

We’re looking for people who are ready to: 

• Communicate clearly, confidently and with impact 

• Build strong, trusted working relationships 

• Collaborate well  

• Bring a positive mindset to new challenges 

• Solve problems creatively and think beyond the obvious 

• Take initiative and work independently when needed 

• Notice the detail while keeping sight of the bigger picture 

• Show genuine curiosity about the built environment and the work we do 

You don’t need to have studied property, planning or surveying before you apply. 

If you’re studying an RICS or RTPI-accredited degree, your route towards professional qualification may look different from someone joining us from a non-cognate degree but both pathways are equally valued. 

We want to get to know you, not just your degree title. Tell us about your education, work experience, volunteering, extracurricular activities and the moments that have helped you grow. 

We’ll support you as you build the experience, confidence and knowledge needed to work towards your professional qualification. 

Cognate graduates will usually work towards their APC through their day-to-day role, with guidance from experienced colleagues and our early careers team. 

For non-cognate graduates, the route towards chartership may include a relevant part-time Master’s alongside professional development. Where applicable, we sponsor the tuition fees for this study. 

Your development will combine practical experience, technical learning and opportunities to learn from colleagues across the business. 

Our early careers team also runs dedicated training days throughout the year, bringing graduates together from different teams and offices to learn, share ideas and build valuable professional networks. 

Throughout your APC journey, you’ll be supported by experienced colleagues, including your Supervisor, Counsellor and Doctor. 

And once you qualify, your development continues. 

Our Grow Framework helps you keep building your skills, exploring your interests and setting your sights on what comes next. 

Keep learning and growing 

Learning is part of everyday life at Fisher German. 

Alongside your role and early careers training, you’ll be able to tap into a wide range of development opportunities - from on-the-job learning and digital courses to Link & Learn days, where colleagues from across the business come together to learn, connect and share ideas.

Our One FG ethos connects our people across teams, offices and disciplines, helping everyone feel part of one wider team. 

We work hard, support one another and make time to connect, celebrate and have fun. 

From sporting events and charity activities to celebrations, volunteering, CPD and social events, there are plenty of ways to get involved, meet new people and build your network beyond your immediate team. 

Giving back to our communities is an important part of who we are, and we’re always looking for fresh ways to make a positive contribution.
