Assistant Quantity Surveyor / Quantity Surveyor
Are you looking to take the next step in your commercial career and get involved in major energy infrastructure projects?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking contractor working across the Energy & Transmission sector, supporting major projects that are helping shape the future of the UK's energy infrastructure.
We are currently looking for an Assistant Quantity Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor to join the Transmission team, with the opportunity to work on a major £100m transmission line project between Galashiels and Kelso.
The Opportunity
The project is currently in its early design phase, providing an excellent opportunity to become involved from an early stage and develop your experience across a major infrastructure project.
The role will initially be primarily Bathgate-based, with site visits increasing as the project progresses. Longer term, the project is expected to develop into a significant site operation, with a dedicated site office of around 60 people anticipated within the next 2–3 years, alongside plans for a large yard and full site setup in Kelso.
As an Assistant QS or QS, you will have the opportunity to work within a major project environment, gaining valuable exposure to the commercial management of large-scale transmission infrastructure.
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.

- Strong commercial, analytical and numerical skills
- Good attention to detail
- An understanding of cost control, budgeting and financial management
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- A willingness to develop their experience within the Energy & Transmission sector

If you're an Assistant Quantity Surveyor looking to step up, or an experienced Quantity Surveyor looking for your next challenge, we'd be keen to hear from you.
