Senior Quantity Surveyor

Location: Ely

A leading construction consultancy, offering quantity surveying and project management support directly to clients, are looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join their Ely office.

The consultancy delivers quantity surveying and project management services across a diverse portfolio of projects, working with a broad range of clients across the commercial, residential, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, entertainment and infrastructure sectors.

The business has built a strong reputation for delivering complex and high profile projects, and this is an opportunity to join an experienced team where you will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, develop client relationships and play an important role in the continued growth of the business.

The Role

The successful candidate will work across a varied portfolio of projects, with the role weighted towards post-contract quantity surveying, alongside opportunities to be involved in pre-contract work.

You will be responsible for:

  • Managing quantity surveying commissions from inception through to completion.
  • Leading post-contract cost management and commercial delivery.
  • Preparing and reviewing cost plans, valuations, variations, final accounts and commercial reports.
  • Providing strategic commercial and quantity surveying advice to clients.
  • Managing relationships with clients, contractors and wider project teams.
  • Working across a diverse range of sectors and project types.
  • Supporting less experienced members of the team and sharing technical knowledge.
  • Contributing to the continued development of the office and wider business.
  • Maintaining high standards of service and professional delivery across all projects.

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.
