Your new company
Our client is an international leading property company operating across three industry-leading businesses: Commercial Real Estate, Engineering, and Investment Management. Due to an increase in work, they are looking to appoint a Project Monitoring Surveyor to the Manchester team. The project monitoring surveyor may come from a Quantity Surveying, Building Surveying, Construction Management, or Project Management background.
The Monitoring Team provides independent advice to banks, lenders, and funders on property development and construction projects. They monitor developments from inception through to completion, assessing project costs, risks, programmes, and progress to ensure schemes remain on track and within budget.
The team reviews financial information, construction progress, and project documentation, preparing detailed reports that help clients make informed lending and investment decisions. Working across a wide range of residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments, the team plays a key role in supporting successful project delivery.
Your new role
As a Monitoring Surveyor, you will work alongside experienced colleagues to deliver independent monitoring services on behalf of banks, alternative lenders, funders, and investors. You will be responsible for assessing and reporting on development projects, helping clients manage risk throughout the construction life cycle.
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.
