What have you learned over the past 6\/12 months working at Linear?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned that when you leave university, you don\u2019t actually know a great deal! Linear Projects have been very accommodating in allowing me time to get to grips with the industry \u2013 one that was completely new to me 12 months ago. I have started from scratch and learned so much about the business \u2013 not only from an operational point of view, but a commercial and logistical one as well.<\/p>\n

As a Graduate Quantity Surveyor, I\u2019ve traveled a fair bit between Manchester, Glasgow, Sheffield and Liverpool. I was based on site for about four months where I had the chance to pick up the construction side of things and work with a full site team.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had the full \u2018cradle to grave\u2019 experience here, seeing how every project comes together, from the estimating and planning stages to negotiation and everything in the middle.<\/p>\n

A real highlight for me has been being involved in the internal fit out of the most prestigious building in Manchester!<\/p>\n

What do you like most about working at Linear Projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The huge variety in what I do here is great. From QS to operations management, to site management \u2013 the experience I am consistently gaining in different areas is phenomenal. On top of this, there is always someone who will put their time aside to help you, even the directors! It\u2019s a pretty relaxed environment where everyone supports one another; whether you go to the MD or ask the Admin staff for help, people are willing and helpful.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a nice touch that Linear Projects provide lunch for their employees! The fridge is always full so you can help yourself to a bit of lunch and enjoy unlimited tea and coffee every day. A small touch but a really nice perk of the job!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re a sociable bunch here at Linear Projects and enjoy doing charity events where we can. A group of us recently took part in a Tough Mudder competition which was great fun!<\/p>\n

Take us through a typical day in your role\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Days really do vary depending on what projects are in progress.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m on site, I\u2019m usually speaking with site managers, sorting out contractual issues or dealing with any variation to the plans.<\/p>\n

When based in office I\u2019m often working on tenders, measuring up for jobs, negotiating rates, having meetings with suppliers, clients, site staff \u2013 building relationships and keeping everyone happy!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
