The Goldcrest Graduate Land Development Programme is an intensive two-year programme designed to prepare talented graduates for an exciting career in property development.
Applications for our 2020 intake are now closed.
The programme is as rigorous and challenging as it is rewarding. Our unique programme will stretch you to the limit and will be wholly dedicated to developing and fine-tuning your skills for a solid, fast-track career in property with a focus on land development.
We require graduates to be enthusiastic, committed, hungry for knowledge and 100% driven by ambition. In return, Graduate Land Developers will have unrivalled exposure to the property industry, an opportunity to work alongside the best and to fast track their career as quickly as they can demonstrate their ability.
The Graduate Land Development Programme starts in early October to coincide with the start of our financial year. All graduates are based at our Fulham office.
We’re looking for the best. It’s as simple as that. We’re seeking commercially minded graduates with an entrepreneurial flair that is 100% driven by ambition, dedication, intelligence and tenacity. Graduates must be highly motivated, independent thinkers whose talent and initiative will drive our future growth.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate a strong interest in property development as well as being up to date on current business and market-related issues. They should have good A Levels and an attained or expected 2:1 or higher.
Industry related experience is a distinct advantage. As this is not a wholly desk based role a driving licence and own transport are necessary.
This is a real job. Graduates will hit the ground running from day one, taking an active and productive role as projects are initiated and seen through to a successful completion. Their role on each project varies, giving them a breadth and depth of experience as well as a great variety of challenges.
Graduates will assist with the acquisition of land to deliver profitable sites suitable for development of 10 – 500 residential units, often with significant commercial elements. There is a clear path for advancement with individual achievement recognised by increased financial rewards as well as promotion.
On successful completion of the Goldcrest Land Development Programme graduates are promoted to Land Developer. In this role they work independently on smaller development opportunities with access to the wider development team. For their on-going progression and development, they will assist the Directors on the more significant development opportunities.

Conducting on-site appraisals to evaluate various aspects of a site’s potential.

At the start of the programme Performance Objectives for the year are agreed so that expectations are clearly understood. Regular informal/formal performance reviews are held throughout the year so that graduates are given the opportunity to improve any areas that need to be addressed. It is important that graduates work hard at staying on track and maintain a strong commitment and motivation towards their objectives.
