ERSG is recruiting for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor

ERSG is recruiting for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join the commercial team on a major infrastructure and construction project in Suffolk. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in the commercial delivery of a high-profile build and civils programme, working within a collaborative and forward-thinking project environment.

Offering hybrid working and accommodation support for candidates working away from home, this role is ideally suited to an ambitious commercial professional looking to take ownership of significant project packages and contribute to a nationally significant development.

The Role

Reporting to the Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for the commercial management of key work packages, ensuring robust cost control, contractual compliance, and successful project delivery from procurement through to final account.

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.
