Our Property Graduate Scheme offers the unique opportunity to gain full membership to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. You’ll experience many different areas of property that you may not even realise exist at Network Rail. With an eye to future senior leadership positions, you can expect plenty of opportunity to develop your talents – including full funding for your progress along the commercial property pathway (APC).

We are looking for

We look for independent thinkers who have a passion for property. People who can communicate with others at all levels, inside and outside the business. Dedicated and hardworking, you’ll be passionate about getting the most from your work placements, and always looking to move closer to achieving your Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors membership (MRICS). You’ll be a logical thinker, capable of good report writing. And you’ll know your way around the Microsoft Office Suite, as well as the property industry.

What you’ll be doing

After getting up to speed on the basics of Network Rail’s safety, and in-house property systems, you’ll also cover topics such as: ethics, asbestos, fire safety and lone working.

• Development – You’ll conduct the pre-feasibility studies, development appraisals and stakeholder engagement required to assisting with land disposals, and commercially agreeing shared value schemes.
• Retail – You’ll negotiate rent reviews and lease renewals, and assist with day to day property management issues and investment schemes connected with our managed station portfolio.
