Trainee Quantity Surveyor Review

On a day-to-day basis, I liaise with many different employees across not only the commercial team, but teams all over the project. I also take on various tasks assisting different teams for examples the operations or accounting teams. However, I primarily drill down on subcontract management and forecasting within the core commercial team helping provide a view of the direction the project is heading.

Yes many key skills including: -confidence effective speaking -attention to detail -all sorts of it skills -handle situations under pressure
