* Fresh quantity surveyor graduates' career trajectory is influenced by several key factors. Firstly, their educational background plays a crucial role, encompassing the quality of their degree program and any additional certifications obtained. * Secondly, the acquisition of practical skills in cost estimation, project management, and proficiency in relevant software applications significantly impacts their employability and advancement. * Additionally, gaining hands-on experience through internships or practical training during their studies enhances their professional competence and marketability. * Furthermore, the prevailing demand for quantity surveyors in the job market, which varies by region and economic conditions, dictates the availability of opportunities. Building a robust network within the industry through professional associations and networking events can also open doors to job prospects and career growth. * Lastly, the geographic location where they intend to work influences factors such as job availability, salary levels, and the types of projects they may be involved in. These combined elements shape the early career path and potential success of fresh quantity surveyor graduates. #keeplearning#

Year 6: Joining South Africa’s Largest Contractor- A TOUGH START! I remember being so excited starting at my first construction role as a trainee foreman. It’s a nervy feeling starting a job while not fully knowing if you would be able to pull it off (like you said you would in the interview). Almost like imposter syndrome. What does a trainee actually do especially when in your mind you think you are more than what they are asking you to do? I remember my first project at St Augustine’s Hospital where a bigger stormwater drainpipe needed to be laid. And that was the job. A 10m pipe! I was given one guy to supervise and I don’t want to say I couldn’t even do that but it was a struggle for two reasons. One, Sandile was an experienced employee and there wasn’t anything I could tell or teach him about this task and secondly, I was extremely bored (and many times slept in the ablutions to pass the time). The project was circa R10k with one employee and I guess that was my challenge, I expected a big start. I was more excited when the company negotiated a R200k Travel clinic refurbishment. It was a quick-fire job, but I remember distinctly being sworn for wearing shorts and not representing the company with the prestige it was apparently known for. What a lesson that was as the director using expletives, reprimanded me that when the client sees me, they see the company and that I needed to represent #WBHO as the professional contractor that it is/was. Nothing prepared me for the verbal abuse I would get in this industry, and it was a baptism of fire as almost anybody on the projects I was transferred to, would swear me (almost just because) from foremen to QS’ to safety people, oy seemed like everybody. I felt like a punching bag and given my introverted disposition I sat many nights wondering if this industry was really for me. I was transferred to Parklands Hospital and learnt so much from my site agent Sanjeev (in self-management) as I was being groomed to be a finishing foreman working long hours and 24-hour shifts at a time. Construction in a hospital environment taught me about discipline and deadlines (especially when we refurbished a theatre, and a surgical operation was planned for the next day). There isn’t time to get tired. You focus, drive the teams and push on to ensure that 7am, the area can be sterilised and operated in. The year ended with an inconsolable relationship breakup when I was transferred to Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg (Jhb) where I witnessed a murder on my first weekend in the place. What an introduction to Jhb! I will never forget thinking that Jhb is not for children. It was fast paced, where I would learn to how to drive, where I would heal (from the heartbreak) and where I would grow. A tough first year working in the building industry but I decided to chew the meat and spit out the bones. Quote: "Opportunities don't happen, you create them." — Chris Grosser

Tips to secure work for International Graduates Yesterday I was working with a Range of Graduates from 1. Process 2. Mechanical 3. Civil engineering & 4. Accounting Now all have been looking for work ranging from 2020 to 2024 and all are working on themselves as much as their resume and Linkedin profiles and their network of course. Some tips to consider Work comes to those who are clear about what they want. You also need to be sincere and have a genuine interest in the subject matter for example Civil grad, - Geotechnical work Process grad, interest in water. Mechanical Grad in Mining Accountant, in house preferably with a solid knowledge of what will be required of you Mechanics below: A In each industry they all break down projects in Scope of work B Deliverables - Drawings C Call for tender D Purchase long lead items asap E Break down work into Schedule and link it to a Budget. F Look at construction issues with the contractor to make sure things are designed to meet schedule and budget Communications: Now the mechanics are easier then the communications The key with communications is language, saying the right thing at the right time & Most importantly, you need to come across as personable, friendly enough and focused enough to be able to deliver projects If you can demonstrate your level of resolve, focus and some basic knowledge while holding a conversation together it will be enough to indicate a healthy level of confidence and what is required of you. For this person work will find you easily. Without the ability to communicate well, you will be held back 1. Communications can be done in writing which equates to less then 8% 2. Telephone calls equate to 37% 3. Face to face equate to 55% Most are always in the 8% Zone and wondering why, they not hearing back from people, often referring to their resume as wrong or needing to be customised Communications face to face and on the phone simply requires lots of practise and it takes time, much more time then sending Linkedin connection requests or emails For most graduates I work with, they are all smart enough to understand what they want to achieve, but the key for all of them is their ability to communicate with the employer correctly. If you want to secure full-time work, just remember: A B C. Looking forward to hearing from you :) A. Connect with me on LinkedIn. B. Book a FREE 30-minute Coaching Call if you want to discuss how I can help you.

Becoming a proficient construction is not reliant on earning a bachelor's degree in construction management, civil engineering, or a related field. Though advanced qualifications, such as a Master's in Construction Management or PMP certification, can provide a competitive edge. Practical experience, gained through internships or apprenticeships, offers valuable insights into industry practices. Strong knowledge of construction techniques, legal regulations, and project management software is crucial. This educational and experiential foundation equips individuals to confidently lead construction projects while ensuring adherence to quality, safety, and budgetary parameters. The career path of a construction manager generally begins with entry-level positions like assistant project coordinator or field supervisor. With experience, they advance to roles with greater responsibility, such as project manager or senior site supervisor. Aiming for specialised roles like green building manager or construction consultant can provide unique growth opportunities. Those with extensive experience might progress to executive positions, such as director of construction operations. Continuous learning, skill enhancement, and adaptability are vital for a successful trajectory in this dynamic and evolving field.

As marine engineers, we often think of shore-based roles like superintendent, teacher, or crew manning when considering a transition from life at sea. However, there are many other career paths available to us that might not be as well-known. Our skills as marine engineers are valuable in various industries, and it’s important to start planning our career journey early on. Our Skills as Marine Engineers We’re trained to solve complex problems, manage projects, and work under pressure. These skills can be applied to many different jobs, not just those related to ships. Understanding how versatile our skills are is the first step in exploring new career. Alternative Career Paths for Marine Engineers 1. Project Management We often manage complicated systems and projects on ships. These skills can be useful in industries like construction, oil and gas, or renewable energy, where managing timelines, budgets, and resources is key. 2. Consulting With our deep knowledge of maritime systems, we could become consultants, advising shipyards, classification societies, or maritime companies on design, compliance, or efficiency improvements. 3. Technical Sales and Business Development Our technical expertise makes us strong candidates for roles in technical sales or business development. In these jobs, we’d help clients find the best solutions for their needs. 4. Maritime Law If we’re interested in law, we could specialize in maritime law, where our technical background would be valuable in legal cases related to ships, accidents, or regulations. 5. Environmental and Safety Management With the growing focus on sustainability, we could work in environmental protection or safety management, helping companies reduce emissions, manage waste, or improve safety protocols. 6. Entrepreneurship If we have a business idea, we could start our own company, whether it’s a consultancy, a tech startup, or a training institute for future marine engineers. Planning Our Career Path To take advantage of these opportunities, it’s important for us to start planning early. - Keep Learning: We should consider additional certifications or degrees that complement our marine engineering background, such as project management or business administration. - Build a Network: It’s important to connect with professionals both within and outside the maritime industry through LinkedIn, industry events, or professional groups. - Gain Experience: Trying internships or short-term assignments in shore-based industries can help us explore different fields. - Find a Mentor: Seeking guidance from someone who has already made the transition to a shore-based role can be invaluable. What other shore-based careers do you think marine engineers can pursue? Share your thoughts in the comments!
