Barratt Homes
Our Higher and Degree Apprenticeships in Quantity Surveying will give you all the experience, training and support you need to work towards becoming a future Quantity Surveyor who makes sure our developments make business sense and are built efficiently and sustainably.
Our Quantity Surveyors are responsible for overseeing the commercial side of housebuilding. This includes the analysis, preparation and management of all costs, from initial build cost assessments though to site completion, as well as the management of sub-contracts and materials required to make the build as effective as possible. You’ll assist the site team in leading the development of a site from a cost perspective through to completion; liaising with trades and costing materials and goods, whilst meeting a challenging schedule on time, within budget, with a focus on quality and customers. We’re looking for switched-on, driven people who have a feel for business and want to help continue our success.
Through your training courses, you’ll learn best practice, regulation and everything an exceptional Quantity Surveyor needs to know to become a master of their craft. By completing your qualification, you’ll be equipped with the most up-to-date information about planning and costing projects, as well as the people and management skills you need to grow professionally.
Both of our apprenticeships award industry-recognised qualifications:
- Cert HE Professional Practice in Residential Development and Quantity Surveying for completion of our Higher Apprenticeship
- Professional Practice in Residential Development and Quantity Surveying Degree for completion of our Degree Apprenticeship
If you successfully complete the Higher Apprenticeship then you will be automatically enrolled onto the Degree Apprenticeship in the next academic year, however if you already possess the relevant entry criteria for the Degree Apprenticeship then you can start on this programme immediately.
