Now is the time to
consider a career
in Surveying!
Surveying is not a single career, but a collective name
for a group of careers within property, construction
and land.
Surveying careers are surprisingly varied and include:
- quantity surveying
- estate agency
- valuation and investment
- project management
- property and facilities management
- planning and development
- land surveying and mapping
- building surveying
There is a significant increase in the availability of job
opportunities for graduate surveyors in areas such as
sustainable development, banking, valuation and
estate agency.
There is also an increased demand for asset
management and facilities management professionals

from financial institutions and large multinationals
such as Google, Facebook, BSkyB, Paddy Power and
PayPal.
According to a recent report by the SCSI, due to the
contraction in the property and construction sector in
recent years, there is a growing shortage of suitably
qualified surveying graduates.
Second level students entering third-level property,
construction and land courses now are ideally placed
to enter a profession during a period of recovery and
expansion with bright job prospects expected in the
coming years.
In addition, having been trained in a variety of
technical and transferable skills, including economics,
business, real estate, sustainability and construction
studies, graduate surveyors will be well-positioned to
bring their skills to work at the heart of a changing
market, both at home and abroad.
