Quantity Surveyor | National Grid Civils Framework

Bristol & surrounding areas

£43,000 - £54,000 + Car / Car Allowance + Benefits

A well-established infrastructure contractor is looking to strengthen its commercial team with a Quantity Surveyor who wants to develop their career and take on genuine responsibility on this exciting contract with National Grid.

The role sits within a long-term framework and involves delivering the civils works associated with the construction of new substations across the Bristol area. The framework is currently generating around £5m of work per year and covers a broad range of civil engineering activities, including enabling works, access roads, drainage, small structures and associated infrastructure.

This is a particularly good opportunity for a QS who wants more than simply managing a package within a large project. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership, develop relationships with the client and delivery teams, and genuinely put your own mark on the framework as it continues to grow.

The Role

Working as part of an experienced commercial team, you'll be involved across the full commercial lifecycle, including:

  • Managing commercial aspects of civils packages from tender through to final account
  • Subcontract procurement and management
  • Valuations, applications for payment and cost reporting
  • Managing variations, change and commercial risk
  • Supporting forecasting and financial reporting
  • Working closely with the project and delivery teams
  • Developing strong relationships with the client and supply chain
  • Helping to identify opportunities to improve commercial performance across the framework

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.
