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.
As a Quantity Surveyor you will…
- Manage contract/project performance including CVR reviews.
- Review contracts and support with mitigating risk.
- Report on and challenge performance for project cashflows and profitability.
- Subcontractor management.
- Preparation and review of subcontract documents and assessment of quotations for onboarding.
- Manage and track project changes, variations and/or notices.
- Assess and value variations and compensation events.
- Support the Commercial Manager with ad hoc projects and continuous improvement of business processes.

- Support the operational team in daily commercial and contractual aspects.
About You…
The successful candidate will have experience in a similar commercial role and a relevant degree, with progress toward a professional qualification (e.g. ICES or RICS) advantageous but not essential. You’ll possess strong knowledge of commercial contracts (NEC, JCT, FIDIC) and be confident managing full project commercial cycles, including tendering, CVRs, WIP, reforecasting and change control. Highly analytical and commercially astute, you will communicate effectively, work autonomously across multiple projects, and demonstrate how your work supports wider business objectives while upholding Ipsum’s values of Safety, Service and Specialist.
