Quantity Surveyor (Structural Steel)
£70,000 - £80,000 + Company Benefits + Progression + Training + Office Based
Pontypool, Monmouthshire
Are you a Quantity Surveyor or similar from a structural steel background looking to join a rapidly growing specialist steel manufacturer in a commercially focused role, training, a varied project workload, and long-term progression?
Since the 2010s, this company has been delivering bespoke structural steel solutions across a range of industrial and commercial projects, alongside comprehensive project management services. Through continued success, they have grown to over 50 employees and achieved a multi-million-pound turnover.
In this office-based role, you will work closely with the estimating team during the pre-construction phase, assisting with BOQs, tender submissions, and cost planning before taking ownership of the commercial aspects of projects through to completion. You will manage project budgets, monitor expenditure, carry out cost evaluations, prepare valuations, and liaise with clients, suppliers, and internal project teams to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and cost-effectively.
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.
