COSTING THE FUTURE OF CONNECTIVITY
Our Quantity Surveying and Commercial teams play a key role in managing budgets and driving the growth of our mobile network. As a Quantity Surveyor Technician, you’ll review site designs, support smart spending on upgrades and new builds, and help avoid overengineering—making sure every pound is well spent, all while earning a £30,000 starting salary!
Make things happen
As an apprentice, you’ll work closely with skilled Quantity Surveyors, some with over 30 years' experience, gaining real insight into how we handle budgets and keep our projects on track. You’ll help check site designs and high-value budget estimates, making sure costs are accurate and reflect only what’s truly needed—from access tracks to full site builds. It's about understanding the detail, evaluating supplier rates, and supporting value engineering to avoid overspending and use the right materials in the right way. Day-to-day, you could be:
- Reviewing site assessments and verifying budget estimates align with project needs
- Supporting the move from outsourced to in-house contract management
- Collaborating with commercial teams to drive smart decisions
Bring your authentic self
We’re looking for individuals who are detail orientated, and genuinely interested in budgets, surveyor drawings, and commercial strategy. An interest in how commercial decisions influence real-world projects will help you thrive in the role, especially as you gain hands-on experience with site planning, data analysis, and cost evaluation. If you enjoy learning new things and have a keen focus on detail, this could be the right fit for you. You will need at least 5 GCSEs level 4-9, or a level 3 equivalent to be eligible for this scheme. Other qualities we’d like to see include:
- Confidence using Microsoft Office, especially Excel
- Organisational and problem-solving skills
- The ability to analyse data and flag anything that doesn’t add up
With inclusivity at our hearts, we're 100% committed to having a workforce that represents every part of our society, so we're keen to hear from candidates of all backgrounds and circumstances. The only barrier to applying would be if you didn't have the right to work in the UK and were unable to obtain it without our support.
What's in it for you
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be able to develop real experience in the world of telecommunications. Enjoy a starting salary of £30,000 with the opportunity to increase at 12-months to £33,000.

We’ll also give you the opportunity to work towards a Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Quantity Surveying, helping you build the skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in this field.
