My Journey
Student to Apprentice
This is Frazer, who was recently a High School student, just like you.
In September 2019, Frazer joined Morgan Sindall as an Apprentice
Quantity Surveyor and is now learning the profession as part of his
degree.
Frazer, commenting on his journey with Morgan Sindall:
“A er meeting with Helen I learnt more about the construction
industry and the careers which are available. This meeting then
allowed me to spend a day on a £16 million project, where I was
able to shadow a senior Quantity Surveyor, developing my interest
in Quantity Surveying.
Helen then supported me through the application process, telling
me how to apply and gave me some helpful tips regarding my CV. I
got an interview and was successful! I am currently on a £11.6
million project, learning under a senior QS three days a week, and
for the other two I am studying at Anglia Ruskin University, working
towards a degree.”
