I have been involved in various tasks in my role from measuring on site to creating variations and invoices for clients. In my day to day role, I will speak to clients and subcontractors about contracts i have running as well as updating any CVR's i have with costs and values. I will plan out works, and provide costs for these.

I really enjoy my internal programme and have learnt a lot and have 6 monthly check ups to ensure i am progressing in my role.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt a range of skills in my role as when I started, I knew very little about the industry. I now know how to record Dim measurements correctly, create applications for clients, price up works using subcontract rates as well as using our own rates. I have learnt all about retrofit works and building regulations that need to be achieved to accomplish this.
