Retail Agency Surveyor (1–2 Years’ Experience) – London
This is not a “sit back and learn slowly” role. You’ll be thrown into live deals early, working alongside senior operators in the retail warehouse market. If you want safe and predictable, this isn’t it. If you want exposure, responsibility, and a fast track to becoming commercially credible, read on.
We’re looking for a recently qualified surveyor with 1–2 years’ experience, ideally with some retail exposure, who wants to specialise in the retail warehouse sector and build a serious agency career.
You’ll be involved across the full deal lifecycle—inspections, marketing, viewings, negotiations—learning by doing, not watching.

- Working directly with senior team members on lettings, lease re-gears, and negotiations
- Carrying out property inspections, measurements, and leading viewings with prospective tenants
- Building and executing marketing strategies for retail warehouse schemes
- Analysing market data, tracking deals, and identifying occupier demand
- Developing relationships with key occupiers, landlords, and industry contacts
- Preparing client reports, pitches, and asset strategy recommendations
- Getting out into the market—networking, attending events, and building your name
What We’re Looking For- 1–2 years’ experience in commercial property (retail exposure is a strong advantage)
- RICS-accredited degree (Real Estate, Surveying or similar)
- Recently qualified via APC (or very close to completion)
- Strong commercial awareness—you understand this is a deals business
- Confident communicator who can hold their own with clients early
- Proactive mindset—no one is going to micromanage you
- Full UK driving licence
What You’ll Get- Direct exposure to senior dealmakers and high-quality instructions
- Hands-on responsibility from day one
- Clear pathway to develop into a retail agency specialist
- Structured support for continued professional development
- A fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where output matters
