Senior Quantity Surveyor

Senior Quantity Surveyor – Full-Time (Bedfordshire, £55k–£70k p.a. + Benefits)

About the Role

A nationally recognised main contractor is hiring an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its progressive commercial team.

This opportunity involves managing high-value construction projects—ranging from £5m to £60m+—across industrial, logistics, and commercial sectors. You’ll play a pivotal role in delivering exceptional projects within a forward-thinking organisation.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage commercial aspects of construction projects, from procurement through to final account preparation.
  • Oversee subcontract procurement, valuations, and payment processes.
  • Develop and submit client valuations, cost reports, variations, and associated documentation.
  • Identify and mitigate commercial risks to optimise project profitability.
  • Collaborate closely with project teams, contractors, and stakeholders to enhance project performance and profitability.
  • Build and maintain strong client, consultant, and subcontractor relationships.
  • Ensure all financial aspects align with contractual obligations, industry standards, and NEC (New Engineering Contract) agreements.

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.
