Senior Quantity Surveyor

We have an excellent opportunity for a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a highly regarded regional main contractor based in Oxford. The business is privately owned and has been established for over 100 years, undertaking projects across the education and further education, healthcare, student accommodation, and commercial sectors with projects typically valuing up to £30mil. Projects are administered via a mix of JCT and NEC forms of contract.

As a result of a few key project wins in the region, they're now looking to expand the commercial team.

About the Role of Senior Quantity Surveyor:

As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will be working as commercial lead on projects managing them from pre-construction through to final account. You will report into the Commercial Manager and will likely be responsible for a more junior Surveyor.

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.
