My Quest Experience

Thomas Hill went on a Quest experience from the UK to the U.S.A.

Why did I apply for a Quest

picture1I applied for a Quest to New York because I was aware that the American market doesn’t have a strong Quantity Surveyor/Cost Consultant cohort. As our competitors in NY are integrating QS’s into their teams and their clients are beginning to appreciate the value they deliver I wanted to see if Arcadis could do the same, and if we could grow our own team here.

Highlight of my Quest experience

The highlights of my Quest experience were:

-Meeting members of the US Arcadis Manhattan, Long Island City and City of White Plain’s teams;

-Attending a presentation on Water resilience presented by Arcadis for TU Twente;

-Presenting a Lunch and Learn session.

My Quest in one word

Learnings and experiences I will apply to my day to day work

This Quest has helped me to develop my technical knowledge and build my international network. I have had the opportunity to meet some clients and am beginning to understand how Arcadis can embed a commercial team in the growing market.

Quest is an international transfer program which connects Arcadians from all over the world. Quest is sponsored by the Lovinklaan Foundation
