Apologies at 2:40 I meant to say 45%!

Hi there, thanks for this video. I’m a quantity surveyor with 5 years experience of working in the residential and civil sector so I have been privy to both JCT and NEC Contract Management. I enjoy both aspects to each sector and I’m still relatively young in my profession. However I am unclear in which sector I want to permanently remain in the long term but I am looking to start my APC for my RICS in the next month or two. I’m also about to start my new QS role in telecommunications at the end of next month. My question to you is this: If I were to continue working in the civil sector, would it prevent me from crossing back over to working in other construction sectors?

Hi! While having experience in a specific sector is certainly beneficial when applying for roles within that field, it is by no means impossible to transition to a different sector, especially early in your career.
