Quantity Surveyor Review

I am training to be a quantity surveyor and my role includes various jobs such as monitoring the productivity of labour, dealing with/paying subcontractors as well as keeping up to date with variations from the client.

I am on my way to achieving a degree in my chosen topic, as well as partaking in various courses such as first aid, effective communication and a 'take 5' health and safety course.

I enjoy working with my team and working within the company. Starting work was exactly as I had expected and it was a big step from school but one that was worth working hard towards.

We receive feedback on a yearly basis, I sometimes ask for more regular feedback to understand what things I can be developing to attain my company targets

There are various sporting events and social events that go on such as a football tournament or a catch up after work some days.

Yes

Laing O'Rourke invest in our futures and give an alternate opportunity to going to university, this route provides experience and an education which should prove a major positive in the future.

Look into what job role you would most enjoy before applying and try and get some work experience to see if the type of work is really for you.
