Requirements

  • To be a success on the Programme you’ll enjoy learning new things, have a curious nature, be a superb communicator and you won’t be afraid to ask questions. Organised, reliable and professional, and a problem solver with the ability to think logically, you’ll have the initiative to start and complete tasks. It’s important that you possess good time management skills and are able to prioritise your work to meet agreed deadlines. You’ll be in your penultimate year of University and be on track towards achieving a 2:2 degree in a Built Environment related degree such as:
  • Construction Management
  • Quantity Surveying
  • Science Economics
  • Please be aware that you should be willing to commute for up to an hour a day around the location for which you apply, and sometimes further. This location can change if you’re assigned to a new site, and as Wates don’t support relocation, you should be comfortable that you can meet this requirement.

Responsibilities

  • When you join us, you’ll develop an understanding of our commercial processes and activities, get involved with project delivery in relation to profit and risk management. You’ll learn how to value and pay sub-contractors; prepare and issue payment notices. You’ll also be involved in the preparation of tender and contract documents, and develop an understanding of our professional standards and governance procedures, and how to implement these.
  • You’ll have wide range of additional responsibilities, including supporting in the production and analysis of reports to ensure projects are financially viable, and providing contractual, commercial and financial information to your line manager and other functions. We’ll expect you to safeguard Wates’ contractual position in respect of the progress of works, design responsibilities and our legal obligations to sub-contractors, and you’ll build effective working relations with key stakeholders, clients, wider teams and supply chains. You’ll also be involved in forecasting, risk assessment and the monitoring of cashflow, and help to build a bid winning strategy while identifying our customer’s key requirements.
