Quantity Surveyor – Major Infrastructure (Sizewell C)

Permanent | £50,000 – £60,000 + Company Vehicle or £7,000 Car Allowance | 22 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays | 8% Pension | Life Assurance | Health Cash Plan

The Opportunity

A leading national civil engineering and infrastructure contractor is seeking a Quantity Surveyor to join its commercial team delivering long-term works on Sizewell C, including the design and build of three wastewater treatment plants forming part of the site’s essential utilities network. This is a permanent role offering stability, progression and the chance to work on a multi-billion-pound project with decades of future delivery.

The ideal QS will bring experience from water, utilities or infrastructure environments and be confident working within NEC-governed contracts.

Key Requirements

  • NEC contract experience is essential (NEC3 or NEC4)
  • Background in water, utilities or infrastructure projects
  • Experience working with or managing programmes governed by Primavera P6
  • Strong commercial reporting, CVR production, change management and cost control
  • Confident managing subcontract procurement, payments and variations
  • SC clearance is ideal, but not essential – the contractor can sponsor this

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.
