Assistant Surveyor - Commercial Apprenticeship Programme

About the Team

The National Office Agency team in Glasgow advises landlords, developers and occupiers on office-property strategy across Glasgow, the West of Scotland and the wider UK market. Its work spans the development, leasing, acquisition and disposal of city-centre and out-of-town office accommodation, supporting both public- and private-sector clients. The team combines detailed local market knowledge with collaboration across Newmark’s national office network.
You'll be joining a team that's expanding, giving you broader exposure to live deals, faster opportunities to take on responsibility, and a real chance to help shape the office's growth.

Newmark’s Degree Apprenticeship Programme is an excellent opportunity to begin a career in commercial real estate while working towards a degree with the University of the Built Environment (UBE). Designed for school leavers, the programme combines practical, on-the-job learning within a professional real estate team with structured academic study.

As a Degree Apprentice, you will gain hands-on experience across relevant commercial property disciplines, work alongside experienced surveyors and senior colleagues, and develop the technical knowledge, professional skills and client-facing confidence required for a successful career in the sector. You will also build the competencies needed to progress towards professional qualification, including the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and ultimately MRICS status.

You will work alongside experienced office-agency professionals, contribute to live client instructions and develop the foundations for a long-term career in real estate.
