Job Description Overview

Be the essence of collaboration. How would you like to work on some of the most exciting and prestigious projects around the globe? Join our collaborative Complex Projects team, where everyone has a voice, and together, we deliver excellence for people and the environment.

Flexible and remote working are central to our culture. So, talk to us about how we can support you.

We value your transferable skills and potential and are ready to invest in your development and progression.

We are seeking a Managing Quantity Surveyor to join our high-performing team, where you’ll play a key role in driving commercial success, supporting colleagues, and delivering outstanding service to our clients.

About the Role

As a Managing Quantity Surveyor, you'll be responsible for delivering work that's driven by excellence as well as doing the right thing. You'll share our reputation for working on some of the UK's most high-profile commissions. You will work across a wide range of projects within the complex infrastructure sector, including rail, highways, utilities, defence, energy, and aviation.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery of high-quality projects, setting clear expectations and building trusted relationships with clients through proactive engagement and exceptional service.
  • Support and develop emerging talent, contributing to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative team culture where people can grow and thrive.
  • Work closely with senior leaders to help shape and strengthen a high-value, profitable service offering that reflects our commitment to technical excellence, innovation, and client outcomes.
  • Apply strong commercial and contractual understanding—particularly of the NEC suite—to ensure projects are delivered with rigour, clarity, and commercial discipline.
  • Bring a proactive, commercially minded, and purpose-driven approach that consistently adds value for clients and enhances the reputation of our business.

About You

  • Proven track record of delivering high-quality commercial services across highways, water, and wider civil engineering projects within the UK infrastructure sector.
  • Strong client-relationship skills, with a customer-focused approach and a clear understanding of evolving client priorities and expectations.
  • Confident handling of legal, contractual, and technical matters, supported by the ability to develop robust and consistent delivery plans.
  • Supportive team contributor, experienced in mentoring colleagues and promoting a positive, collaborative, and high-performing working environment.
  • Commercially aware, adept at identifying repeat and new business opportunities, and committed to ongoing professional development to stay current with industry standards.
  • Professional accreditation (RICS or CICES).

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.
