I worked twice a week during the summer months under the head quantity surveyor, Denis Harrington, gaining insight into what it is like to be a full-time quantity surveyor and what types of tasks the job requires.
I would work both in the office and occasionally go on site, ensuring measurements were accurate, and ensuring work was completed on site.
