Quantity Surveyor/Cost Manager (Fit-Out & M&E, Small Projects)

Location: Central London
Salary: £65,000 – £75,000 + car allowance + bonus
Working Pattern: Hybrid (3 days in-office, 2 days from home)

About the Opportunity:

We're recruiting for an experienced Quantity Surveyor/Cost Manager for a project team working across a varied portfolio of fit-out, refurbishment, and M&E projects. This is a unique QS opportunity; rather than being one small part of a large construction project, you'll have end-to-end involvement across a range of smaller-value projects, working closely with clients and project teams from early cost planning through to delivery.

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.
