The Role
Enjoyed it very much, was useful and has taught me a lot of new important skills which I can use in University.
Very valued was given a lot tasks on a day to day basis.
I had a lot of support and guidance, as my supervisor was always there if i had any questions and did not hesitate to help me at any time.
Was busy on most days of the week although some-days I didn't have a lot of work to do.
Was given a lot of responsibility as I completed a lot of tasks which were important to the company such as contract work and dealing with sub-contractors etc.
They will assist me a lot since I have a better insight of the daily tasks and work of a Quantity Surveyor.
The Company
Fun, Vibrant, Positive and work driven.
Was very well organised and always had time to ask any questions if need be.
My supervisor invested a lot of time in me and was always there if I needed support.
Employment prospects are very appealing, hence the organisation offering sponsored student placement, which will ultimately become a graduate programme.
The Culture
Social scene was always good with all colleagues.
Cost of living was good. Socialising in area wasnt the best.
N/A
They were some opportunities.
