Sector Context: Industrial & Logistics

• Asset Class Performance: Industrial assets have seen significant rental growth due to the rise of e-commerce and “just-in-case” supply chain strategies.

• Valuation Drivers: You will analyze key drivers such as eaves height, power supply capacity, ESG ratings (BREEAM), and proximity to major transport arteries (M1, M6, M42).

• Technical Modeling: You will move beyond traditional Red Book valuations to incorporate sophisticated DCF variables reflecting modern lease structures.

Why Join JLL?

• Career Path: Direct exposure to senior leadership and a clear trajectory from Surveyor to Director within a global firm.

• Flexibility: A predominantly office-based role designed for collaboration, complemented by home-working flexibility to support work-life balance.

• Innovation: Access to industry-leading proprietary data and the latest versions of Argus Enterprise and Developer.

• Reputation: Join the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” listee, where integrity and excellence are at the core of every valuation.
