Trainee Residential Surveyor 2025 - Llandrindod Wells

Trainee Residential Surveyor Programme - 2025 Intakes

As the future of e.surv, our trainee surveyors play a vital role in shaping our company. Surveying is in our DNA and we’re passionate about inspiring the next generation of property experts. If you’re thinking of training to be a residential surveyor, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve worked with our most experienced technical experts to develop a comprehensive training programme which gives our Trainees exposure to a wide range of property types and scenarios. You’ll also benefit from an established mentoring scheme.

What you might not expect is the friendly and resourceful central team providing invaluable support to all our customers and clients; or the commitment to the personal and professional development of all our people. When you factor in the flexible benefits, Share Save and BAYE schemes, and our fresh approach to incentive earnings, you start to understand that we do things a little differently at e.surv.

To be considered for the trainee programme, you will need to be eligible for the 1-year route to AssocRICS accreditation and have a strong base knowledge of Residential Building Pathology. The criteria is:

• A RICS or CIOB accredited degree or post-graduate qualification, plus a minimum of one-year industry relevant work experience.
• A RICS approved HND, HNC, NVQ Level 3 diploma, BTEC or foundation degree, plus a minimum of two years of industry relevant work experience.
• 4+ years of industry relevant experience.

Locations:

• Dorset/Weymouth
• Leeds
• Bradford
• Huddersfield
• Halifax
• Wakefield
• Ealing

• Swansea
• West Hull
• York
• East London
• Slough
• Canterbury
• Newtown/Craven Arms/Llandrindod Wells

We are also interested in applications from candidates who have completed the SAVA Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation.

Do you meet the eligibility criteria? Do you have a genuine passion for property and strong pathology knowledge? Do you have excellent verbal and written communication skills? Are you able to work as part of a team and build effective working relationships? Do you have strong problem solving and analytical skills, initiative and a proactive approach?

Trading since 1989, e.surv is the UK’s largest and leading provider of residential valuation and property risk services. Employing over 600 RICS-registered surveyors across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, e.surv completes the equivalent of one property inspection every 12 seconds. With industry-leading technology, nationwide postcode coverage and a wealth of property risk expertise, e.surv is a great choice for your next career move.

What’s in it for you? Naturally, we expect you to work hard, learn quickly, ask lots of questions, and have some fun along the way. In return, you’ll benefit from the support and expertise of our experienced team, together with a competitive salary and a benefits package that includes:

• Sponsorship for the AssocRICS qualification (including payment of all RICS fees)
• Company car or car allowance
• Pension
• 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays (after AssocRICS qualification)
• Private medical insurance (after AssocRICS qualification)
• Death in service assurance
• Share incentive schemes

Don’t just take our word for it – we’re a little bit biased. So, we asked two of our former Trainees to tell us what they think about life at e.surv.

“For me, the most positive aspects of e.surv’s trainee programme, are the excellent training and continued support I received from my mentors. The team provided me with clear and structured stages of training and development, undoubtedly easing my transition to AssocRICS qualification.” Kevin Cunningham – Former AssocRICS, now MRICS Surveyor

“e.surv’s Trainee Surveyor scheme has been fantastic. It enabled me to kickstart my career as an AssocRICS surveyor faster than I anticipated. I was daunted at times but, via mentoring, classroom sessions, clever tech and lots of support from my Manager, Trainers and colleagues, I’ve achieved my goal, a career to be proud of.” Sarah Shanks-Pell – Assoc RICS Surveyor

Sound interesting? We may be big, but e.surv has always been about quality, not quantity. To apply for a place on our Trainee programme, you must meet eligibility criteria. You will have, or be predicted to obtain a RICS/CIOB accredited Degree/Masters or international equivalent. Alternatively, you will have 4+ years of employed experience in Estate Agency, Property Management or a Surveying related discipline.
