Are you an early-career Quantity Surveyor looking for a role where you can develop your commercial experience and work on interesting engineering projects?

We’re currently recruiting for a Quantity Surveyor to join an established and expanding team. This would suit someone with around 1–2 years of experience who is ready to take the next step in their career and gain broader exposure across project commercial management.

You’ll be working alongside experienced Project Managers, Engineers and commercial professionals, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills across the full project lifecycle.

What will you be doing?

Your role will cover a broad range of commercial activities, including:

  • Managing and monitoring project costs from start to finish.
  • Supporting monthly commercial reporting and CVR preparation.
  • Assisting with valuations, applications for payment and invoice management.
  • Identifying and managing variations, compensation events and changes.
  • Supporting the preparation of estimates, budgets and forecasts.
  • Reviewing contracts and helping ensure commercial requirements are met.
  • Assisting with subcontractor procurement and commercial management.
  • Monitoring project progress and its impact on commercial performance.
  • Working with project teams to identify potential risks and opportunities.
  • Developing positive working relationships with clients and subcontractors.
  • Providing general commercial support across multiple projects.

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.
