Higher-Level Apprenticeship Opportunities 👷‍♂️🏗️

“Since joining Tracey Brothers as an Apprentice Quantity Surveyor, I’ve had the opportunity to gain invaluable experience across a variety of projects, each contributing to my development. One of the most valuable aspects has been learning directly from experienced professionals, gaining insights and skills that only come from years in the industry. After proving I was competent and keen to learn, I’ve been trusted with real responsibilities such as managing subcontractor accounts, preparing change order quotes and interim valuations, and procuring materials, which have all broadened my QS skills and boosted my confidence.

I enjoy the structure of the Higher-Level Apprenticeship, and the balance it offers between education and full-time employment. One day at uni and four days at Tracey Brothers has worked nicely for me over the last 2 years, allowing me to apply what I learn in the classroom to real life situations, and equally, working on site has given me a real-world understanding of construction processes, far beyond what the classroom alone could provide.

Tracey Brothers have been incredibly supportive and fully understand the demands of academic life. Looking ahead, I know that after 5 years, I’ll graduate with not just a degree, but with substantial on-site experience that will make me more valuable to prospective employers than someone who has followed the traditional academic path.

I believe the apprenticeship route offers unmatched opportunity for growth within the Construction industry and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a career in Quantity Surveying.”

Tracey Brothers strive to develop and progress the technical and interpersonal attributes which our graduates possess, to enable them to thrive within the industry. We believe in aiding our graduates to grow both personally and professionally, by balancing independent and supported exposure to the demands of the construction world.

Hear from one of our Graduate QS’s, Padraig Murphy, on his experience so far with Tracey Brothers

“During my first six months of joining Tracey Brothers as part of the graduate programme, I have gained valuable hands-on experience and industry knowledge. Working closely alongside a Senior Quantity Surveyor on a live project, an extension to an existing hospice unit, I have developed both technical and professional skills essential to my role.

My responsibilities have included preparing and managing subcontractor valuations for payment, as well as measuring and quantifying additional works for submission to the client’s Quantity Surveyor. This has strengthened my understanding of cost control, contract management, and the importance of accuracy in financial reporting.

In addition, I was trusted with overseeing building control matters on-site, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. This responsibility has greatly enhanced my understanding of construction regulations, site co-ordination, and the importance of clear communication between project stakeholders.

This experience has laid a strong foundation for my career in quantity surveying, providing me with a well-rounded perspective on both the commercial and technical aspects of construction project management.”
