About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and commercially minded Quantity Surveyor to join my client's growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around 2 to 5 years' experience who is looking to further develop their commercial skills within a supportive engineering environment.

Working closely with Project Managers, Design Engineers, and our commercial team, you will play a key role in ensuring projects are commercially managed from inception through to completion. You will assist in maximising project profitability, managing commercial risk, and maintaining strong relationships with clients and subcontractors.

Key Responsibilities

As a Quantity Surveyor, your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing, submitting, and tracking applications for payment.
  • Monitoring certificates, invoices, and payment schedules.
  • Raising Early Warning Notices (EWNs) and managing change requests and project variations.
  • Assisting with the preparation of project estimates and cost forecasts.
  • Producing and presenting monthly Cost Value Reconciliations (CVRs).
  • Monitoring project costs, purchase orders, and commercial performance.
  • Reviewing project contracts and ensuring contractual obligations are understood and met.
  • Assisting with the review of contract terms and conditions.
  • Preparing subcontract documentation and supporting subcontract management.
  • Understanding project programmes and monitoring commercial progress against delivery.
  • Building and maintaining effective relationships with client commercial teams.
  • Supporting the wider commercial team with day-to-day quantity surveying activities.
  • Identifying commercial risks and opportunities throughout the project lifecycle.

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.
