Apprenticeships

Kacey joined Greyline as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor in August 2024 working with the team full-time, until January 2026 when she started her Level 4 Quantity Surveying apprenticeship.

Prior to starting her apprenticeship, Kacey has been working closely with other Quantity Surveyors within the business assisting with duties such as subcontractor order accounts, payments and valuations as well as undertaking general administrative tasks. Working alongside other Greyline staff on live projects has provided Kacey with a valuable opportunity to practice her skills in a real work environment.

A Quantity Surveyor has been assigned as a dedicated mentor for Kacey, to support her through apprenticeship and ensure continuity of supervision during her placement. In addition, Kacey is also assisting a Senior Quantity Surveyor on live projects.

Kacey is currently completing her Quantity Surveying Level 4 course with Anglia Ruskin University on day release.

Statement from Kacey:

“Working as a Trainee Quantity Surveyor with Greyline has been a valuable learning experience so far. Assisting a Senior Quantity Surveyor on a number of live projects has given me a good exposure to the core responsibilities of the role including measurements, valuations, cost control and subcontractor management and procurement. Everyone around me is very supportive and are always willing to go the extra mile to answer any questions I have. This has given me the chance to further develop my skills and self-confidence. I look forward to continuing my journey with the Greyline team.”

Sara Sodha joined Greyline in the capacity of a ‘Business Administrator Apprentice’ in September 2021. The company has offered Sara a 35-hour week fixed-term contract for 18 months, until March 2023 to support the duration of her Business Administration Level 3 course.

Sara gained the practical knowledge she required through a wide mix of learning in the workplace, allowing her to practice new skills in a real work environment. This also supported the technical element which Sara gained with her ‘off the job’ training. Sara assisted with reception duties, answering incoming calls for Greyline, and offered support to the core functions of the business, i.e., Business support, HR, Finance, H&S, Operations, and Commercial through a variety of administrative based duties.

Sara was allocated a dedicated Mentor at Greyline, to support her through her apprenticeship and ensure continuity of supervision during her placement.

Sara completed her Business Administration Level 3 course with Harrow & Uxbridge College.

Statement from Sara:

“Working at Greyline thus far has given me an insight into what its like to run an ethical and forward-thinking business. I am grateful for this apprenticeship opportunity as I believe it has enabled me to develop new skills and have a wider perspective on a business front. My colleagues are extremely helpful which has made my journey up until now delightful. Greyline ensures a well prepared and successful future for all their apprentices, and I look forward to bringing about a positive change to the company and excelling in my role here as Business Administrator.”

Work experience placements

The Greyline team were proud to host Jed Tomkinson for a two-week work experience placement in December 2025. We first med Jed at the Enfield recruitment fair and were instantly impressed by his enthusiasm and genuine passion for health and safety. In his own words, he wanted “to be part of the reason people make it home safely”, and that mindset showed every day.

During his placement, Jed shadowed our Health and Safety Manager, Matthew O’Neill, gaining hands-on exposure across multiple sites, completing various tasks, and even voluntarily completing 27 e-learning modules! His drive to learn and his positive energy constantly stood out.

Statement from Jed:

“Overwhelmingly positive. All the interactions with Greyline staff has been wonderful and friendly. I couldn’t have been in better hands from Matthew and his boots on the ground knowledge and experience, to office staff like Elise with her positive attitude to break the ice and allowing me to feel welcome and included.”

Matilda Brennan successfully carried out a 6-week work experience placement with Greyline, starting in July 2021, until the end of August 2021. Matilda joined the team in the capacity of an ‘Administrator/Receptionist’ and assisted the core functions of the business with administrative related duties. Matilda proved to be an asset to the company, and it was a pleasure assisting her with acquiring the necessary work skills which she can apply in future employment.

Statement from Matilda:

“I have really enjoyed my work experience at Greyline. It has been beneficial gaining exposure to the construction industry, and I have learned a lot about the company.

During my placement, I have assisted with various admin tasks including scanning and filing paperwork, composing emails and letters, updating spreadsheets, answering the company phone, and redirecting calls appropriately.

I have felt well supported by every member of the team and have been overwhelmed by everyone’s welcome and kindness shown towards me. Should there be a position available again next year I would be very happy to be considered. Thank you for everything!”

Career development

Harry joined in July 2019 as an Assistant Site Manager while studying at Anglia Ruskin (Chelmsford) in BSc (Hons) Construction Management and was halfway through his 4th year of a 5-year part-time course. Throughout Harry’s time with Greyline he’s been provided with support, mentoring and guidance from a number of Greyline employees, including site-based experience with Senior Site Manager, Paul Darbinson.

Harry commented that:

“Working with Greyline has given me a greater awareness and experience of on-site construction activities, learning the importance of managing day-to-day health and safety on site and the quality of workmanship.

Greyline have also provided me with the opportunity to attend various training courses to complete the Greyline Health & Safety passport to work, which benefited my work and raised better awareness. These training opportunities helped me develop a better understanding of how work activities can be improved and be compliant with the Construction regulations, this has also given me the confidence to be able to run my own project in the near future. With Greyline’s continuous support of my career and personal development I am on course to achieve my ambitions within the construction industry.”

In January 2020, Harry joined the site team to assist with the completion of a multi-million social housing project in Greenwich.
