As our Quantity Surveyor, you'll play a key role in supporting the commercial success of our projects, ensuring robust cost control, accurate forecasting and proactive risk management.

You'll be responsible for producing accurate monthly cost/value reconciliations (CVRs), measuring and pricing works, managing subcontractor accounts and reporting on completed and forecasted activities. Your commercial insight and attention to detail will help ensure projects remain financially on track while maintaining compliance with client and regulatory requirements.

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.
