Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Its growth has been built around careful contract selection, strong commercial controls and long-term relationships with public-sector, local-authority and utility clients.
The business is continuing to expand across Yorkshire and the Humber after securing positions on major regional civil engineering frameworks. This provides the successful candidate with a stable pipeline and the opportunity to play an important role in developing its coverage across Humberside and Lincolnshire.
The Initial Project
The first assignment will be a £5 million highways and active-travel scheme in Barton-upon-Humber.
The Senior Quantity Surveyor will take commercial ownership of the project through construction and final account, working directly with the Project Manager, Site Agent and engineering team.

Project-Specific Responsibilities
- Take commercial ownership of the £5 million Barton-upon-Humber scheme through construction and final account.
- Administer the project’s NEC contract, with particular responsibility for Early Warnings, Compensation Events and instructed change.

- Manage the project’s subcontract packages and commercial reporting with support from the regional commercial management team.
- Following Barton, provide commercial leadership across further highways and infrastructure schemes in Humberside, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
