Quantity Surveyor – Civils / Construction
Location: West Thurrock, Essex
Position: Permanent
We are recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to join an established construction contractor working on a long-term civil engineering project in West Thurrock, Essex.
This is a predominantly site-based position, working from one project rather than travelling across multiple sites.
This opportunity is a good fit for a Quantity Surveyor looking to develop their career in civil engineering and infrastructure. Previous civils experience would be beneficial but is not essential, and candidates from other construction sectors will be considered.
The Role
Working closely with the site, project and commercial teams, you will be responsible for supporting the commercial management and successful delivery of the project.
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.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Preparing valuations and payment applications.
- Subcontractor procurement and commercial management.
- Measurement and valuation of works.
- Monitoring project costs and commercial performance.
- Managing variations and changes.
- Supporting cost forecasting and reporting.
- Identifying commercial risks and opportunities.
- Preparing and agreeing subcontractor accounts.
- Supporting the preparation and agreement of final accounts.
- Working closely with the site team to monitor progress against costs.
- Maintaining accurate commercial records and documentation.
About You
We are interested in speaking with candidates who:
- Have Quantity Surveying experience within construction, civil engineering, infrastructure or a related sector.
- Are interested in developing their experience within civil engineering.
- Have experience with valuations, subcontractors, variations and cost management.
- Hold a relevant Quantity Surveying or construction qualification.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous civil engineering experience is not essential. The company is open to Quantity Surveyors from other construction backgrounds who have the right commercial experience and are keen to move into civils.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an established contractor, gain long-term exposure to a major industrial/civil engineering project and continue developing your commercial career.
