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.
