A TEENAGER who applied to be an office junior got more than he bargained for when a more senior post was created for him.
Fraser Smith, 17, had embarked on a modern apprenticeship through training provider Access Training, but then applied for the position of office junior at Bowey Construction, in Newcastle.
The company was so impressed with his enthusiasm and capabilities it created the post of trainee planning engineer for him.
Now Fraser, from Denton Burn, Newcastle, accompanies the site manager on visits across the region, distributes drawings, creates programmes and handles general office duties.
He said: "This is such as great opportunity for me, I've found my dream job and I'm learning so much, it's great."
