Quantity Surveyor
Location: Bristol
Sector: Regional Construction & Refurbishment
Salary: £55,000 - £65,000 + Package
The Opportunity
A respected regional contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Quantity Surveyor to join its Bristol commercial team. You will work across a varied portfolio of refurbishment and new-build projects, giving you genuine exposure to different sectors, procurement routes and project stages.
This is an ideal opportunity for a commercially astute QS who enjoys taking ownership of projects and working closely with operational teams rather than being buried within a large corporate structure. You will have the autonomy to manage schemes from procurement through to final account while being supported by an experienced commercial leadership team.
Role Overview
You will take responsibility for the commercial performance of your projects, producing CVRs, forecasts and accurate cost reports while keeping a close eye on cash flow, risk and margin. You will lead subcontractor procurement, negotiate packages and manage accounts throughout delivery, ensuring commercial decisions support both the programme and the overall project outcome.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will manage applications, valuations, variations and change control, working closely with Project Managers and Site Managers to understand progress and identify issues early. Final accounts will form an important part of your role, alongside maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants and the supply chain.
About You
You are an experienced Quantity Surveyor with a main contractor background and a solid understanding of refurbishment and general build projects. You are confident with CVRs, forecasting, procurement, variations, final accounts and cost control, and you understand how to balance commercial performance with maintaining productive relationships on site.
You are organised, commercially aware and comfortable managing your own workload. A Quantity Surveying degree or equivalent qualification would be preferred, together with a full UK driving licence.
