Level 6 Apprentice Quantity Surveyor

As a Level 6 Apprentice Quantity Surveyor, you’ll learn how:

• We procure construction contracts for the maintenance and build of UU assets
• To commercially manage construction contracts, ensuring that they are delivered in accordance with the contracted terms and conditions and that all issues are mitigated and managed to protect United Utilities’ commercial interests
• To develop a working knowledge of various forms of construction contracts
• To manage post-contract commercial processes and procedures to deliver key commercial requirements on projects
• To negotiate and resolve contract claims and disputes, and support senior managers in the resolution of escalated issues
• To communicate, influence and work well with contractors and suppliers as well as a wider variety of teams across the company internally
• To maintain contract data with a high degree of accuracy to support robust management information and reporting

Your apprenticeship will last 72 months, and successful apprentices will achieve a Level 6 Chartered Surveyor (degree) standard, endorsed by the Institute for Apprenticeships. 
Study will be on a day-release model. Typically, this will be four days a week working and one day a week (or an equivalent amount of time) studying at a partner university. If you do not live near, accommodation will be reimbursed/provided by United Utilities during this period, excluding weekends.

• Every apprentice is guaranteed a permanent position at the end of their scheme. (As long as you meet all necessary standards and behaviour criteria throughout the programme.)
