Senior Chartered Quantity Surveyor | Cost Management | Consultancy

£competitive + excellent benefits | Hybrid working

Are you an experienced MRICS Quantity Surveyor looking for a senior role within a consultancy where your expertise, judgement and client relationships genuinely matter?

I’m working with an established and ambitious independent property and construction consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality cost management and project advice across a diverse range of sectors.

The business has built its reputation around people, technical expertise and long-standing client relationships, creating a collaborative environment where senior professionals are given the autonomy to lead projects, develop clients and make a genuine contribution to the continued growth of the business.

The opportunity

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, you’ll take responsibility for a varied portfolio of cost management projects, working closely with clients and project teams from inception through to completion.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Lead cost management commissions with a high degree of autonomy
  • Prepare budget estimates, cost plans and detailed financial reports
  • Produce Bills of Quantities and tender documentation
  • Manage tender processes, evaluate returns and provide commercial recommendations
  • Undertake interim valuations and manage project cost reporting
  • Manage final accounts and assess contractor claims
  • Monitor and control variations throughout the project lifecycle
  • Present reports and project updates directly to clients
  • Oversee project financial performance
  • Support and mentor junior members of the team
  • Develop and maintain strong, trusted client relationships
  • Contribute to business development and wider consultancy initiatives

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.
