You will be given the guidance and support you need to ensure you make the most of your time with us, as we want you to make a valid contribution to our business throughout your placement.

· Compiling applications data and providing input into change control systems

· Understanding risk and identifying the implications of actions taken by yourself and the project team

· Assisting in subcontract management and, in time, taking responsibility for your own subcontractors

Your time with us will help you gain valuable experience should you aspire to specialise in quantity surveying.

What we’re looking for:

· You will have an enthusiastic, engaged attitude and an eagerness to learn

· A flexible approach to work and able to adapt to change (you may be required to travel as part of your training)
