About The Role:

As TSA Riley continues to grow our presence in the UK market, we are seeking to strengthen our cost management team in the northwest region by seeking to hire an ambitious and well-rounded Quantity Surveyor.

We are looking for someone capable of performing pre and post contract duties across the full lifecycle of projects from conception through to completion. Someone who can make a positive impact within our team by collaboratively working with internal and external team members to deliver meaningful, lasting and sustainable results for our clients and communities.

TSA Riley in the northwest have enviable partnerships with some of the UK's largest retailers where we are providing a variety of services such as cost management, project management and sustainability consulting on their individual developments and programmes of work.

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.
