Quantity Surveyor

Location: Aberdeen
Employment Type: Full time
Salary: Available on request

Are you an experienced Quantity Surveyor ready to play a key role in the growth of an exciting new regional operation?

Pettigrew Recruitment Group is delighted to be supporting the appointment of a Quantity Surveyor to join a growing residential construction business in Aberdeen. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a newly established regional team, working from a flagship development that will serve as the operational hub for years to come.

The Role:

This is more than just another Quantity Surveying role. As the business continues to expand, you'll have the opportunity to take real ownership of the commercial function, working closely with senior leadership while helping shape the success of multiple future developments across the region.

We're keen to speak with commercially minded Quantity Surveyors from a range of backgrounds, including housebuilding, commercial construction or civil engineering. If you're looking to move into the residential sector, you'll benefit from a supportive environment with ongoing mentoring and professional development to help you make a successful transition.

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.
