Apprentice Quantity Surveyor

What will the apprentice be doing?

Quantity Surveyors play an important role in managing the commercial side of construction projects. They look for ways to minimise the total cost of the project to the business and maximise the value received, whilst still meeting the required standards and levels of quality. Our quantity surveyors split their time between working in the office and out on site, preparing payments and cost reports and managing relationships with various stakeholders.

See the advert on the website for more detail.

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

You will receive full on the job training by your dedicated mentor. Your apprenticeship will be supported by an external service provider at college or in a classroom environment. The training will be 1 week blocks with Leeds College of Building, which may need you to stay away from home but all related expenses will be covered by JN Bentley.

You will work towards your Level 4 Construction Quantity Surveying apprenticeship.

What is the expected career progression after this apprenticeship?

You will be a full member of the team from day one with JN Bentley however when you complete your initial apprenticeship qualification you will be considered for further training. This will be discussed with both your mentor and our Learning and Development team.

From completing a Level 4 qualification this could then lead to you having the opportunity to carry out a Level 6 degree apprenticeship in Construction Quantity Surveying.
