Apprentice Cost Consultant Review

I am part of the Scotland property team dealing with Student accomodations, hotels and Residential homes across Scotland and the North of England. Tasks I undertake include measurement, monthly site valuations, cost reporting and cost planning.

I have developed new skills and developed existing skills, like my approach to tasks and always having an open mind, how I deal with clients and being able to manage my work load alongside prioritising tasks.

I really enjoy my programme. I work within a really sociable and relaxed team. I can ask anyone within the team for help with tasks and I am learning everyday

My programme structure is very good. I have a clear message of working 4 days and attending university on the 5th working day during study times.

I am never short of help from my fellow colleagues. I can reach out to any of them when they are available for questions and sometimes just for a chat to take my mind of some things.

My university provide support in terms of reaching out to tutors surrounding questions and queries. They also provide me with a good foundation of knowledge that is beneficiary within the Workplace.

Most of my modules completed at University are in line with some of the tasks I am completing within the workplace. I am currently working on pre-construction projects and the construction contracts module at University is tying in nicely with that.

At work there are regular social events that I have attended and enjoyed. Within our office we are trying to organise some sports events for the summer.

Yes

My experience so far has been very enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone looking for work in the construction Industry

Be yourself. This is the version that the team will be working with day to day and this will give you the best chance to getting the role.
