It really depends on your availability and the needs of the office you’re going to work in. Typically, it’s once you’ve graduated during the summer. Mind you, if you’ve already graduated and are able to start sooner, we’ll try and get you on board as soon as we can.

We are currently reviewing the number of graduates required for 2010.

In a word, no. We recruit graduates from all sorts of disciplines, including those not related to the construction industry. Roughly a third of last year’s intake studied unrelated degree subjects, such as geography, economics, maths, finance and architecture. If your degree is unrelated, we’ll enrol you onto a conversion course that will be either a Postgraduate Diploma or Masters degree. You’ll also attend the Graduate Development Programme and, potentially, achieve chartered status in the same time as someone who studied a related degree.

Without a doubt. Davis Langdon & Seah International has 85 offices worldwide, and once you’re chartered we can arrange international secondments to further develop your career and broaden your life experience.

Yes, we offer a number of sponsorships each year to individuals intending to complete an undergraduate degree. We accept applications through the Inspire Scholarship Scheme run by Construction Skills. If you’re interested in sponsorship, have a look at www.bconstructive.co.uk

So many reasons! We’ll give you the opportunity to work on high profile, groundbreaking projects. Ours is an industry-leading Graduate Development Programme that will provide you with continuous top level support to achieve professional accreditation. You’ll also have access to leading industry thinkers, benefiting from their breadth and depth of expertise and experience.

You can work in the UK without a permit if you’re an EU citizen, you’re married to - or in a civil partnership with - an EU citizen, or at least one of your parents was born in Britain. Alternatively, you’ll need to be a Commonwealth citizen with one or more of your grandparents being British. We’ll need to see relevant supporting documentation before you join.

Davis Langdon is legally obliged to take steps to recruit similarly qualified graduates from the EU before we look elsewhere.
