Job Opportunity: Quantity Surveyor

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Quantity Surveyor to join our dynamic One Trafford Council team at our Trafford Depot (Tatton House, 11 Caldey Road, Wythenshawe, Manchester, M23 9LF). This role will be carried out onsite, with some hybrid working. This role offers a competitive salary, plus a Company Car.

The standard hours of work are 40 hours per week, Monday - Friday.

In this role, you will support the Trafford account by ensuring accurate cost estimations, compiling client applications, developing competitive quotes, maintaining strong client relationships, overseeing change processes, and ensuring financial control in project budgets. Your work will contribute to the account's success by guaranteeing thorough submissions, efficient budget management, and valuable client partnerships.

The role involves managing projects worth up to 10 million pounds, emphasising the need for precise cost estimations and effective budget oversight to ensure successful outcomes.

What You’ll Do:

  • Promote the Amey “Zero Harm” Safety Culture and support the Target Zero Action Plans.
  • Develop strong relationships with key clients to aid in change and conflict management, helping Amey retain and win future projects.
  • Collaborate with Finance for complete project cost control, including budget management and forecasts, CVR reporting, and WIP management as per contract.
  • Manage change processes, review proposed work changes, and ensure timely submission of contractual notices and early warnings.
  • Support Bid and Estimating teams in winning strategic bids by developing sound commercial solutions.
  • Perform people management duties, including Performance Development Reviews, promoting Amey’s Inclusion and Diversity policy, and fostering an open, honest team environment.

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.
