Some companies may shy away from the cost and the challenge of helping to shape and mold new Graduates in to stand alone surveyors, and as a result there are often few graduate opportunities available.

However, at Solomons we are passionate about providing opportunities for graduates to thrive. We invest both time and cost generously into ensuring continuous development for all our people.

We are now looking to bring in a number of Graduate Surveyors, with the enthusiasm, tenacity and curiosity to accelerate their careers, and to kick start their journey to practical, professional competence under the guidance our our dedicated mentoring and coaching team.
