What will the apprentice be doing?

As a Apprentice Surveyor, you will learn how to actively price materials and labour for our repairs and maintenance workstream, focusing on reducing costs and improving efficiencies, therefore having a real impact on our profitability and our commercial success.

How will you do this?

  • Initially supporting, but developing responsibility for the financial and technical aspects of the contract, including procurement, invoicing, payments, cash flow and cost control
  • You will learn to understand how to create cost efficiencies where possible, maximising value and ultimately making a profit
  • Collaboration- you will meet and work with direct labour and subcontractors, understanding their roles and expectations of the service we deliver in the response product
  • We will instil confidence in your communication, to develop and maintain relationships with your team, customers, subcontractors, suppliers, and our client
  • You will learn how to procure materials and sub contractors, through negotiation skills
  • You will support and learn how to produce monthly commercial reports, including Cost Value Reconciliations, so you become accountable for the cost and profit of the contract 
  • As your training progresses, you will be involved in tendering and winning new work and managing relationships with our key clients

You may not identify with all the terminology, but that is where the Apprentice Surveyor programme, your mentor and the business will support you in your development journey.

What training will the apprentice take and what qualification will the apprentice get at the end?

  • You will join other apprentices in attending a structured modular training programme delivered by our own Academy, and, depending on your experience, you could also achieve further professional qualifications externally i.e. Level 4 Apprenticeship Quantity Surveying.
