My uncle works at the same company as me as a contracts manager and I would someday like to have his job. I would find it helpful if any contract managers on this forum could tell me more (in detail) about the position.

Also can anyone tell me skills I could learn that would improve my chances of being kept in work

surely ur uncle would be the best person to ask ???
 
I was going to ask him but I just started in January and I don't want to sound to eager. He wouldn't mind me asking but I would prefer not to.
and trev I was also thinking that ( but not the murder but)
 
im hoping for a promotionin the near future. I already have my 17th edition, NVQ3, 2330 L3, 2391, ive completed the theory exam of the 2391-2, and im currently half way through an autocad course. Im also very organised, and am used to steering people in the right direction. Im used to ordering materials for jobs, and im usually fairly accurate with my estimating for materials.

If i were you,i would first become the best tradesman you can be. Not only practically,as in learn as many different ways of doing the same job as possible, but also learn the theory behind it. If you see something youve not seen before, then ask questions, and go home and do your research. Volunteer for the awkward and most technical jobs, and if you hear opf a job that you thibnk you will learn from, then ask to go onthat job. Far too many apprentices get stuck on big jobs cutting unistrut for months on end for my liking. what does that teach them?

nothing wrong with that,i spent months when i was 16 bending conduit,fitting tray and trunk,for one it builds the puny muscles you have and its good expeirence,too many people want to be a foreman by the time they are 18 now,walk before you can run,and when the next apprentices come through you can give them the conduit work..:wink_smile:

I did my NVQ a couple of years back now and as I was a sole trader as a mate, I was my employer, so they just let me sign both bits
