A national, multi-disciplinary Construction Consultancy that works closely with a major infrastructure client is seeking Senior Quantity Surveyors and Associate Directors, for multiple sites/projects/opportunities across the UK.

The Opportunity

Primarily working approximately 2 days (sometimes less) in the relevant office or site, you will be working on large-scale, multi-million-pound infrastructure projects (energy, electrical, substations, overhead lines).

You will be commercially managing projects as well as mentoring less experienced Quantity Surveyors. Day to day will involve a mixture of pre and post contract work, including reviewing cost data, carrying out commercial audits, contract administration, and forecasting.

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.
