As part of my role, I feel privileged to meet many talented and
enthusiastic people who represent the future of our business.
Fisher German is committed to recruiting the best people and, through dedicated support and
training, enabling them to achieve their potential. We want our
people to grow and develop their careers within the firm.
I have experienced this first-hand, having joined the business as a
graduate surveyor and, over subsequent years, progressed to

I am excited by the opportunities that we can offer and the fresh outlook that graduates bring.

Everyone is encouraged to bring new ideas and have an innovative
approach to work. At the same time we are a support network for each other and our surveying colleagues.
Every day is different and if you are a motivated, enthusiastic and hard working person, then Fisher German offers a fantastic opportunity for you.
I joined Fisher German in 2004 as the sole in-house planner. Since then
the team has grown year on year.
I have worked in both the public sector and for large private sector practices. I find that Fisher German offers the greatest variety, challenge and opportunity in the projects we
undertake and the clients we act for.
But just as important as that professional side, is the warm andsociable nature of our colleagues.

“When I look how Fisher German has

am extremely proud
”

Final word from our Managing Partner, Andrew Jackson
I started as a Qualified Surveyor and it has taken me to the role of Managing Partner. When I look at how Fisher German has progressed - its substantial growth even during an economic downturn - I am extremely proud. That growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by providing the right strategic direction, excellent financial management and, above all, by having the best people across the whole organisation. For us it is about finding people who have a passion for their chosen careers and who will be inspired by the same things. Don’t for a minute think that we are looking to recruit clones or robots - we would not be the entrepreneurial firm we are today, if we did.
At Fisher German we have personality; we’re not a faceless organisation. We are a great firm with a long history. We are proud of that and work hard to do it justice. We aim to be trusted business advisers as well as surveyors and help our clients achieve what they want.
We do recognise that you have a choice and I would strongly recommend you do as much research as possible to find the right organisation for you.
It is important to find somewhere you really want to work and we want graduates who really want to work with us.
