As part of a dynamic, fast-growing division, you'll be at the heart of nationally significant infrastructure projects that will shape the UK’s future.

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing

As an Assistant Quantity Surveyor you’ll be responsible for supporting the commercial team and contributing towards its success across the full lifecycle of each project — from Measuring completed works to Approving Sub contractor supply chain applications. You will be supporting:

  • Contract management in line with JTC, NEC 3/4 (Options A & C)
  • Subcontractor negotiations, payments, and performance tracking
  • Deliver accurate and timely Completed works measures and Billing Processes
  • Produce monthly Cost Value Reconciliation and generate Earned Value Analysis reports, whilst maintaining robust commercial documentation.

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.
