Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am currently the lead QS on my own project within our framework with Thames Water. Responsibilities and role involve commercial management, subcontract management, contractual management, and liaising with the client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I enjoy my apprenticeship programme as it allows me to put my skills to work whilst also getting qualified for these skills, and vice versa. The programme is well structured and allows me to be efficient with my Uni/Work responsibilities.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt and developed a range of skills, job related and life related, throughout my career so far with JN Bentley, as they consistently support me in my career and personal development.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Well organised and well structured, allows time to develop understandings of new content, or to develop on knowledge that i already attain.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A great amount of support. From my line manager, through to the learning and development team, everyone is invested in helping me improve and develop.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive as much support as i require from my training provider. Help is there if i request it, but they are also comfortable letting me work towards goals unaided if i want to.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Completing a qualification whilst performing the job role is mightily beneficial. I get to put what i've learnt into practise almost instantly, and continue to develop skills/knowledge i may already have.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, many team social events.
