Trainee Quantity Surveyor Review

Trainee Quantity Surveyor. setting up sub-contracts. managing communications between subcontractors and us the main contractor as well as the client. payments to subcontractors.

yes i have learnt new skills and developed existing ones while doing my role.

The work side of the programme has been good and well supported. the uni side has been less organised and i find the feed back from the uni generic and uninformative.

differing levels of organisation depending on what part of the uni system I'm in contact with. the 4 weeks a year uni learning has been hit and miss as to its organisation level depending on the lecturer. but other wise the 4 weeks set aside for the concentrated learning has worked well.

I have received very good support from my employer and my colleagues, both academically and with family arrangements.

I receive help with my disability dyslexia. otherwise I find some of the lecturers uncontactable outside the uni week and their feed back on modules can be generic and unhelpful as to how i could improve my understanding of the topic or grade. what have i miss understood so that my grade is as it is.

has made me more aware of the other roles within the industry and how they are interlinked. I can see how it it helpful with more senior roles.

yes, almost too many. On my project there are book groups, nights out, during lockdown their was a virtual coffee session every day. Christmas carols, cultural celebrations with food. Networking sessions with other students and the CEO.

Yes

their are opportunities to develop ones career within the company. They support employees on further education if it is relevant to their role or future role.

Interviewers want applicants to understand the full scope of works the group undertake not just the particular section you are applying for. The group subsidiaries work together on mnay projects and its good to understand what the company can offer.
