I have recently graduated from university with a Building Surveying degree. Does anyone know of there is any firms who specialise in railway property or TOC that do in house Building Surveying?

I have contacted Network Rail to see if there was scope for work experience, they said they don't do work experience as such. There is a grad scheme for commercial property Surveying however.

I would think that one of the companies with a contract for building maintenance for a TOC ora NWR Route would be a good starting point. Osbornes are a major contractor south of the Thames. Not all their work is railway related, but it could give a chance to specialise after a year or two of more general work.

I’ve seen NR advertising for surveyors quite recently. Manchester based I think.

Will look into that. I'm sure I see LNER have in house surveyors , could be wrong.

I did notice them positions. I don't really have any experience. I'm a more mature student but looking for a foot in the door.

Nothing to loose by applying and you might be able to blag your way in (as I did!).

Have confidence in what you can do because if you don’t then no one else will!
