Learn and apply foundational Quantity Surveying (QS) skills, beginning with measurement tasks under close mentorship.
Receive specialist training in construction trades relevant to Sum ADR’s client base, primarily within the structural steelwork industry.
Assist in valuing variations and develop a solid understanding of construction contracts and commercial project management.
Support the preparation of claims and dispute resolution documentation, aligned with your academic progress.
Engage in structured learning through a Quantity Surveying degree (via day release), followed by a Master’s in Construction Law—both fully funded by Sum ADR.

Collaborate with experienced professionals and contribute to real-world projects after completing initial training.
Progress toward professional accreditation, with opportunities to pursue RICS membership and adjudication qualifications.
During the initial probation and training period, work will be a mix of face-to-face office-based training and remote work. After this period, the role will be primarily remote, with occasional office and site visits.
Training:
A probation period of up to six months will apply, during which either party may terminate the apprenticeship if it is not progressing successfully. Regular meetings will be held to provide feedback on performance, with formal progress reviews conducted at the three-month mark and again before the end of the probation period.
Initial training in steelwork structures and their measurement will be delivered face-to-face in an office setting. The location will be agreed upon based on the apprentice’s and trainer’s proximity—likely within Wakefield, Kirklees, Calderdale, or Leeds.
Following the probationary period, the apprentice will attend Leeds Beckett University one day per week on day release, with the remaining four days spent working for the company. Coursework and revision required for the degree must be completed either during university attendance or in the apprentice’s own time.
Training Outcome:For those who wish to continue developing professionally, further opportunities include:
As your responsibilities grow, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue a Master’s degree in Construction Law, also funded by the company.
Becoming a Chartered Quantity Surveyor through RICS membership.
Completing the RICS Diploma in Adjudication.
Potentially pursuing a Law degree for those with the ambition and aptitude.
Employer Description:Sum ADR is a company specialising in dispute resolution and the provision of niche Quantity Surveying (“QS”) services to its clients. The company is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”) who are a global professional body for those working in the Built Environment, Construction, Land, Property, and Real Estate. Sum ADR operates exclusively in the construction industry and two of its directors are members of the RICS panel of Adjudicators and they decide complex disputes in relation to construction matters. The company also represents parties to a construction dispute in adjudication where it prepares that party’s case and presents this to an adjudicator for resolution.
All of the Sum ADR clients operate in the construction industry and specialise in particular aspects of construction, such as steelwork or cladding trades where specialist knowledge is required of that particular trade. The company provides QS services to these clients that range from basic measurement tasks, valuation of work and analysis of variations to their contracts. In some cases, the Sum ADR QS will provide commercial management for the project on behalf of its client.
The company encourages its employees to make academic progression and gain experience in construction and as a result of the ongoing development of the team (including the previous person taken on in an apprenticeship role) an opportunity to recruit another QS apprentice has arisen.Working Hours :Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm (this includes a 1-hour break).
