At Fisher German, we understand how important your 12-month industry placement is, not just for your degree, but for your future career. That’s why our placement year is designed to give you real responsibility, hands-on experience, and a deep understanding of the surveying profession.

You’ll receive the same outstanding training and support as our graduates, including access to our Early Careers training development days. Plus, your placement year could count towards your APC journey to becoming a Chartered Surveyor.

Our Year Placement roles are predominantly based within our Infrastructure division where your work may span from working on small- scale maintenance and refurbishment projects to acquiring rights for nationally significant infrastructure projects, involving hundreds of landowners. You will play a pivotal role in successfully delivering these schemes from day one, across the water, electricity, gas and hydrogen markets.

Your work will not only involve infrastructure projects above the ground but also, below it, from maintenance and repairs of existing infrastructure to brand new projects on a national scale. You will help shape the future of our communities, ensuring access to water, electricity and fuel for generations to come!

You could potentially be based in any of the following main offices that our infrastructure teams are located in: Ashby de la Zouch, Ashford (Kent), Banbury, Bury St Edmunds, Doncaster, Market Harborough, Newark, Stafford or Worcester.
