Full on the job training will be provided and the individual will be supported and enrolled (funded by the practice) onto a part-time day release degree course at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford, Essex. This degree course will explore the scientific, social, legal, technical, ethical, economic and political aspects of the built environment. Through your day-to-day office based role, you will learn to use industry-standard software to measure and cost a range of construction projects.
