It’s National Apprenticeship Week, and this year, we introduce Robbie. Robbie Brightman is an Assistant Quantity Surveyor in the Cost Consultancy team, joining Project and Building Consultancy (PBC) in March 2022. He provides support to a rapidly growing division while balancing his work, study, and personal life. Robbie is an integral member of the team; studying a Level 6 Chartered Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management course at the University of Westminster for one day a week and working with PBC for the remaining weekdays to qualify as a fully Chartered Quantity Surveyor.

Robbie’s 5-year course is equivalent to a degree and offers a gateway to becoming chartered. In addition, it provides real-world projects to add to his portfolio.

Anthony Metelerkamp, Associate Director, said: “Robbie has taken full advantage of the combined practical and academic learning offered by his Apprenticeship. He has demonstrated an exceptional aptitude for learning and growth and as a result, he has established himself as a key member of our team. I have every confidence that he will go on to successfully complete his academic qualification and surpass this achievement, by becoming a Member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.”

Before joining PBC, Robbie had experience working on commercial and industrial projects and has expanded his expertise by working in new sectors such as retail and hotels. He has worked on impressive projects valued at both under and over a million pounds.

Robbie Brightman said: “I would recommend an Apprenticeship for people looking to get into building and construction. My goal is to become chartered, and this pathway is the perfect fit. Not only does it facilitate my end goal, but it also offers great support from my team. I am learning various skills while working on real projects, and I learn best from practical experience.”

He is currently working on a variety of high-profile projects, and he is overseeing a large expansion and renovation of the Pollurian (Hotel) in Cornwall. A bespoke house (Residential) in central London and Rooms 2 (Hotel) in York.
