WHAT KIND OF WORK WILL I DO?

Every internship is a little different, but you might:

Assist with building inspections and safety checks
Support enforcement actions (e.g., building notices/orders)
Work alongside experienced professionals in the field

PROGRAM STEPS

Step 1: Apply

Submit your interest by clicking on apply & submitting your CV.

Step 2: Get Matched

Our recruitment partner Randstad will contact shortlisted students to chat about the roles available and help match you to a suitable internship.

Step 3: Track Your Experience

If you get a role, keep a logbook and get a technical referee to track your hours—this may count towards your registration as a Building Surveyor.

Step 4: Keep Gaining Experience

You can apply for more than one role! Each internship is short-term, so you’re welcome to do multiple placements through this program.

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
