Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Focusing on the day to day interactions that a Quantity Surveyor would do. We gain valuable insight into payments, how to act in a workplace and the team are supportive if an error is made.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I like the experience of it and the pressure. I like the fact that everything I do has a real effect on the project. It's very rewarding and satisfying when a job is done correctly. I believe that the work at Birmingham City University could be better however. I personally find it not as thought provoking and it doesn't relate to a Quantity Surveyor day to day.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Talking to the client, subcontractors and other people in the offce. It has also taught me to be more organised. Task management is also important, and what to prioritise.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very organised. The support is great from VINCI and I don't feel excluded in the office.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot. If I am struggling, I can go to numerous people for support.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
If I am struggling with my university work, I am given time to complete this which is very helpful.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It will allow me to progress through the ranks and improve as a quantity surveyor. I can see a clear pathway into a more successful future at VINCI.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes. There are regualr work night events that act as team bonding, to show that we aren't just colleagues. However, I would like sports teams as I feel it could be a nice distraction from work.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Vinci to a friend?
Yes
