Boyer invests in your professional development with our specialised graduate programme

Grow your career at one of the UK’s leading multi-skilled planning consultancies

The Boyer Graduate Programme partners recent graduates in planning and design with our expert senior team members to help develop their skills and grow their career through on the job learning. Graduate candidates will get involved in ongoing planning projects and provide clients with planning solutions. We have offices throughout the UK, and welcome graduates in all sectors, including planning, design and economic development.  

Successful candidates are passionate, high-calibre graduates, preferably with an RTPI-accredited background, who will embrace the Boyer mission and contribute to our continued success through this highly-specialised programme. 

We also consider graduates from non-planning backgrounds who demonstrate a dedication and drive for the industry. If successful, non-planning graduates will be expected to undertake an RTPI Masters conversion course while working at Boyer.

Life as a Boyer Graduate Planner

"Since joining Boyer as a Graduate Planner, I have had the opportunity to be involved in a wide range of projects within the Midlands, including residential schemes and ancillary services. These projects have provided me with the opportunity to improve project management skills, gain essential knowledge, and liaise with consultants. Further to this, there has been a wide range of opportunities to connect and network with other people within the industry in the Midlands. Having a supportive team network within the Midlands Office has been valuable throughout the start of my career as a Graduate Planner at Boyer and will continue to be valuable as my professional development progresses. I look forward to progressing in my career and working towards my APC submission."

"Since joining Boyer I have worked on a wide variety of projects across London and the South East. These projects span a diverse range of sectors including commercial, residential, student accommodation and more. I have been entrusted with significant responsibilities, such as day-to-day project management, working directly with clients, and liaising with councils and consultants. Additionally, the role has provided me with valuable opportunities to network with clients and industry professionals.

I have developed key skills, including project and client management and effective communication with stakeholders. The experience I have gained has allowed me to adapt to different project requirements and collaborate with diverse teams, which has been instrumental in my professional growth.

Overall, the Graduate Scheme at Boyer has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm excited to continue building on my professional development as I contribute to future projects."
