ASSISTANT QUANTITY SURVEYOR
ADVICE DONE DIFFERENTLY
At Hewitt&Carr Services, we believe the best advice comes from experience, collaboration and a genuine desire to help clients make informed decisions.
As part of the wider Hewitt&Carr Group, we provide Quantity Surveying, Project Management and Consultancy services across a broad range of construction and property projects.
This role is ideal for someone in the early stages of their career who is eager to learn, develop practical construction knowledge and gain experience across a variety of projects.
WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
Many Assistant Quantity Surveyor roles place you in a large team where you're responsible for a small part of the process.
This opportunity is different.
You will work directly alongside our Lead Quantity Surveyor. You'll be involved in real projects, gain practical knowledge of construction and commercial management, and receive mentoring that helps accelerate your professional development.
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.
