Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role involves communicating between team members, managing my preliminary packages on-site. Issuing IPC's, Instructing change, forecasting profit and loss & applying up-stream to the client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I Enjoy the programme but it is a lot to manage with the extra mandatory learning Mace deliver + Uni lectures take up time in the week + Assignments & exams, Recording every piece of learning too. There isn't as enough time in the week sometimes to keep on top of workload.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my excel skills, communication skills, gained new skills in methods of analysis when doing assessment on sub-contractor quotations
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
It is fairly well organised however, due to busy schedules, people in the business cancel/ re-schedule meetings/ development sessions very regularly. This makes it hard to plan out your week and plan holidays. As we cannot take holiday over development sessions.

3/5
The first two years of my Chartered degree apprenticeship in quantity surveying, is about general construction knowledge. I believe its helpful however, the knowledge recieved hasnt helped me perform better in my day to day role. Help with excel and quantity surveying specific learning is what will help me the most
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
