CBRE Group is a Fortune 500 commercial real estate services and investment firm offering property management, facilities services and more globally.
As the world's largest real estate services company, with 115,000 staff worldwide, CBRE's business success depends on skilled, motivated team players - aligning well with military values. With engineering, IT, problem-solving and management requirements, CBRE's respect, integrity, service and excellence values also reflect the military.
A longstanding Armed Forces Covenant signee and Gold ERS holder, CBRE has a serious veteran employment strategy. With already 2,100 UK veterans, four-year targets and incentives promote further recruitment. An executive-sponsored Armed Forces Network, chaired by a senior veteran, reports to the Global CEO.
The service leaver pathway programme aids transition and promotion. Courses include electrics, compliance, ILM, Harvard executive programme, accounting, tech training and project management qualifications. The Network provides advice on pensions, rail cards and ELCAS funding for training. It also organises monthly drinks, formal dinners, sports sponsorship and volunteering like Help for Heroes support. A new partnership with Care after Combat sees 200 staff mentoring veterans in the justice system.
CBRE's hierarchical structure, clear promotion and accelerated veteran progression to global board level suit a military background. Entry level facilities management, engineering and supervision roles attract starting salaries of £35-42,000. Training covers resources, cleaning, health and safety, clients. Engineering roles directly translate military technical skills.
With diverse service lines, flexible working was standard pre-Covid. Several military spouses have continued roles despite postings through CBRE's global flexible Project Aurora. Competitive salaries, healthcare, pension and family assistance are provided.
In summary, CBRE's large military workforce, networking, training investment and flexible working show a strong commitment to forces talent. With aligned values and varied property services roles, CBRE enables veterans to resettle and rapidly progress their careers.
