We are hiring an ambitious student for a placement year to join our rural department in Cambridge on a 12-month fixed term contract in the Summer/Autumn 2026. Our dedicated team of rural surveyors provide advice to landowners and farmers on unlocking the value of their assets, diversification, change of use, rural management, leveraging natural capital and bio-diversity opportunities, along with valuing rural assets all over the UK.

The Eastern Rural department is involved in management, professional and agency work.   We manage land for private and institutional clients, our professional team undertakes valuations and advice to farmers and landowners and our agency team undertakes sales and purchases of farms and land.   Cambridge is also the national centre, developing our thinking on National Capital and its value to landowners.  As a placement student you will work all areas of expertise alongside senior agents on a day-to-day basis including client contact and will have your own areas of responsibility and opportunities to take forward work.  Embarking on a placement year offers the potential opportunity for the right candidate to return as a graduate and begin your pathway to becoming a qualified surveyor.

What will it take to be successful?

We are looking for forward thinking students with a can-do attitude, who have the ability to manage multiple projects and deal with a variety of work. You will ideally be studying a RICS accredited degree, however, we welcome applications from those studying a non-accredited degree who are looking to pursue a career in rural surveying.  It is essential that you have or are working towards gaining a full UK driving license.
