Brief Description
We’re currently offering the opportunity for apprentices to gain valuable experience and develop a number of key skills that will help you to pursue a career in the quantity surveying and construction industry. You will be assisting senior managers with the budgeting of construction projects and the control of costs during a construction project.
Training to be Provided
Level 4 Construction Quantity Surveying Apprenticeship.
- A Level 4 qualification in Construction and Built Environment that meets the knowledge requirements of the standard and is approved by the industry’s recognised professional bodies meeting the educational requirements for Technician status or the equivalent level of membership
- 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
Future Prospects
You will be an integral part of the team from day one with JN Bentley and 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.
