The Role
We're urgently seeking a Quantity Surveyor to work on a major new-build commercial MOD project already underway in Reading - Electrical value is £8 million & project completion will be in 6 months.
Our client is a thriving M&E contractor based in the West Midlands & is willing to consider candidates from a construction or building services background.
There is the opportunity to be based on site in Reading or at the client's office in Wolverhampton - if preference is to be located in Wolverhampton, there would still be a requirement 1 day p.w. to be on site in Reading.
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.
