Quantity Surveyor

Manchester | £50,000 - £75,000 + Car Allowance + Benefits

Building Services | MEP | Design & Build

Are you a Quantity Surveyor looking for more than just another commercial role?

We're supporting a growing specialist contractor that delivers complex Design & Build projects across sectors including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and high-specification commercial environments.

With an exceptional order book, ambitious growth plans and a genuine commitment to developing its people, this is an opportunity to become a key member of a commercial team with clear progression into senior leadership.

The Role

Working closely with experienced Project Managers, you'll play a key role in the commercial delivery of technically challenging turnkey projects, including:

  • Commercial management of Design & Build projects
  • Valuations and payment applications
  • Pricing variations and change control
  • Cost reporting and forecasting
  • Subcontract procurement and commercial management
  • Managing commercial risk throughout the project lifecycle
  • Contract administration (predominantly JCT, with some NEC)
  • Building strong relationships with clients, subcontractors and internal teams

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.
