Trainee Quantity Surveyor
What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
Currently undertaking my placement year at Circle Developments as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor, I am keen to apply the academic knowledge I have gained through my studies at Nottingham Trent University in a practical setting. My previous experience working on-site has provided me with valuable hands-on insight into both commercial and residential projects, as well as a solid understanding of site logistics and construction processes.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
As a Trainee Quantity Surveyor, my role involves both pre-contract and post-contract administration. I assist the team with a variety of tasks, including preparing measurements, supporting the preparation of interim payment applications, producing photographic reports from site visits, and compiling meeting minutes and agendas.
Describe your experiences and growth at Circle?
I began my placement at Circle in June 2025, and so far my experience has been great! I am eager to learn and contribute as much as possible throughout my placement year. I am particularly interested in getting involved with Whole Lifecycle Carbon Assessments and Lifecycle Costing, as I believe this will enhance my knowledge and support my university studies. I am due to graduate in 2027 and hope to return to Circle to join their APC programme.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Outside of work, I am a keen football player, regularly playing for a Saturday team and participating in six-a-side matches during the week when time allows. Since moving to London, I have also enjoyed going on long runs around the city. I love to travel and try to explore new places with my family and friends as often as possible.
