West of Scotland with travel | Great career opportunity | truly negotiable salary
I am working with a fast-growing, ambitious contractor working across specialist installations, refurbishment and joinery projects, looking for a qualified Quantity Surveyor to take ownership of commercial performance across live contracts.
This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the numbers and close to the decisions: pricing tenders, managing live contracts, and helping shape how the business prices and delivers its work. You'll work directly with the management team, with genuine input into commercial decisions rather than reporting up through layers of a larger structure.
You'll be involved from early pricing through to final account, covering fit-out, joinery and specialist packages that need careful measurement and costing rather than broad estimates.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Day to day, you will:
- Prepare tender pricing, bills of quantities and commercial submissions
- Manage costs, budgets, valuations and variations across live contracts
- Prepare monthly CVRs and cash-flow forecasts
- Price and negotiate variations and compensation events
- Build up labour rates and resource-based pricing
- Administer contracts under NEC and SBCC forms
- Prepare progress payment applications and commercial reporting
I'm interested in people who:
- Are a qualified Quantity Surveyor with solid commercial experience in a relevant business
- Have costed packages involving joinery, M&E, plumbing, or electrical works
- Come from housebuilding, public buildings, or specialist subcontractor/manufacturer backgrounds rather than large civil engineering or infrastructure contractors
- Are confident administering NEC or SBCC contracts
- Enjoy working closely with a management team, with real input into commercial decisions
- Want more influence and responsibility than is often possible in a larger, more structured organisation

I'm open-minded about your exact background. What matters most is that you bring solid QS skills, sound judgement, and an interest in helping a growing business get its pricing and margins right.
If you'd like more responsibility and a bigger say in how the business runs commercially, I'll be pleased to hear from you.
