Real Estate Apprenticeship Programme 2026 - London

About your team

The real estate division of Fidelity International was founded in 2006 and launched its first funds for institutional investors in 2008, since when it has attracted a range of blue-chip clients from continental Europe, the UK, Canada and Asia. Current real estate assets under management is in the region of €2.5 billion. The experienced team of fund managers, asset managers, transaction managers, research professionals, analysts and operations professionals are based in five locations across Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Luxembourg). The team has established strong performance track records and we are building on this success by both growing our existing flagship funds and further developing the business through new funds, including funds focused on climate impact investing.

We are committed to sustainable investing and have firmly embedded sustainability in all steps of our investment process, from the time of acquisition, throughout the holding period and until disposition. We have set a range of sustainability targets and proactively engage with our tenants and suppliers to drive improvements.

After that, there are many more ways to develop your skills as your apprenticeship progresses.At every stage, your development will be underpinned by the best apprenticeship training and professional certified courses.Unlike other firms that hire on a volume basis, we take on a select number of apprentices.
