After this apprenticeship

After your apprenticeship, your career path will largely depend on which side of the construction industry you choose to specialise in:

  • The Consultancy Route (PQS): If you work for a professional practice, you will transition toward client-side advisory work. Your progression will move through Associate Director to becoming an Equity Partner in the firm, where you share in company profits.
  • The Contractor Route (Main/Sub-contractor): If you work on-site for a builder, your path focusses heavily on strict budget management and supply chain control. This path leads directly into Commercial Management and operations.
  • Specialist Niches: With MRICS status, you can easily pivot into high-paying specialist fields like Construction Law & Dispute Resolution, Capital Allowances Tax Advisory, or Infrastructure Project Controls (e.g., HS2, green energy grids).
  • The Freelance/Contracting Route: Once you achieve SQS level experience, many chartered surveyors set up their own companies to work on a day-rate basis.
