I am currently recruiting for a well-established consultancy with a strong presence across the infrastructure sector, working on major projects spanning highways, aviation, water, defence and power. They're looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their Glasgow team and take a lead role on some genuinely varied, high-value schemes.
This is a great opportunity for someone from a heavy infrastructure background who wants to broaden their exposure across multiple sub-sectors, rather than being tied to one type of project.
The Role
- Managing cost and commercial matters across infrastructure projects from highways, aviation, water, defence and power sectors
- Preparing and agreeing final accounts, valuations and cost reports
- Managing NEC/ICE contract administration and change control
- Building strong client relationships and supporting junior team members
- Working closely with project managers and engineers to keep projects commercially sound from inception to completion
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.
