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.
