Assistant Cost Consultant

Location: Brighton

Contact:
Phone: 07921 058196
Email: mtaylor@mdaconsulting.co.uk

Salary: Competitive Salary (on application)
Type: Full-time, Permanent

We are looking for an Assistant Cost Consultant or Graduate with some post degree experience, who is looking to take the next step in their career and work in a small but busy team of surveyors based in MDA’s Hove office.

The role will involve travelling to sites across the South East of England and the applicant will need to have a full clean driving licence and use of their own car.

The role will involve providing advice and reports to clients and will suit someone who is interested in providing fund monitoring services as well as more traditional Quantity Surveying services.

Ideally candidates will have obtained an RICS recognised Quantity Surveying degree and will be expected to be working towards achieving MRICS accreditation. MDA is however more interested in selecting the right candidate who can work both independently and in a team and applicants with other relevant construction or building experience who are working towards MRICS accreditation will also be considered.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
