Quantity Surveyor (Structural Steel)
£55,000 - £65,000 + Company Benefits + Progression + Training + Office Based
Pontypool, Monmouthshire
Are you a Quantity Surveyor or similar from a construction background looking for a collaborative role with a technical workload within a rapidly growing manufacturer offering specialist industry training?
Since the 2010s, this company has been providing structural steel solutions across a range of industrial and commercial projects, alongside project management services. Their continued success has enabled them to grow to over 50 employees and achieve a multi-million-pound turnover.
In this office-based role, you will work closely with the estimating team during the pre-construction stage, supporting BOQs and tender submissions before taking ownership of project cost control throughout delivery. Your responsibilities will include managing construction budgets, tracking project expenditure, carrying out cost evaluations, and liaising with project teams and suppliers to ensure projects are delivered as cost-effectively as possible.
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.
