“Since starting at Kingerlee, I have been thoroughly supported through my development as an Assistant Quantity Surveyor, the teams on all my projects so far have been approachable and always willing to share their knowledge.
I have gained a lot of confidence and been given many opportunities to take on more responsibility and develop my skills.
This support and trust has helped me in my career progression within the industry.”
Lauren, Trainee QS
“During my time at Kingerlee, I have been supported at every stage of my development. The company has provided a strong foundation for building my skills, offering hands-on experience on a wide variety of projects, alongside guidance from knowledgeable colleagues. Through this support, I have been able to take on increasing responsibility and develop a clear direction for my career path.”
Olly, Management Trainee
I chose to do an apprenticeship because I wanted to combine practical skills with real-world knowledge, especially since I already had some experience in the construction industry from helping build a new house for my family. I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship to others because it allows you to earn while you learn, develop valuable skills, and gain industry experience that sets you up for a strong career in construction.”
