Apprentice Quantity Surveyor Review

Apprentice Quantity Surveyor. My daily job roles include visits to site to collect information on work completed then using this information to log in excel. Taking information from different sub-contractors and direct staff bonus sheets and including this into the spread sheet. Monitoring and approving sub-contractor payments through my own measures on site. Organising appointments with tenants for a kitchen design to take place and once it is completed using the kitchen design to collate information on the property. Help prepare a application for payment from the client. I interact with all the site staff including site manager, foreman, liaison officer and labourers. Other external interactions are through sub-contractors, the client and tenants.

I have undertaken many in house and external training programmes throughout my apprenticeship which have been directly related to my position and about construction in general. These range from general health and safety, first aid training, site manager safety training course to specific training such as underground services. I have learnt a lot through working and day to day training from my direct boss and other piers in the company. These are skills in my specific job role and in other areas of construction.

I enjoy my job role and the team around me. I am still learning and getting greater responsibilities which is further adding to this.

I feel I am valued well within the company. I get appraisal from my manager whenever due and feel I am rewarded with greater responsibility and freedom due to this.

I feel my programme is well structured with regular internal and external progress meetings to monitor how I feel and the role I am doing. I get sent on many different training programmes and my college course is relevant to my workplace.

They provide lots of support.

I am supported very well and it is easy to speak to a number of different people within the company if I need additional support.

The salary I receive is a fair representation of my level within the company. I receive travel costs for any travel I have to do for work.

There are many different events which go on within the company where you can meet others in your job role. They also have many different charity events which you can help with or donate towards.

Yes

Because I enjoy working here myself and believe that it would be a good company to work for no matter what job role you are in.

To put yourself out and get involved with as much training and other activities as you can to progress within the company.
