An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a well-established and growing contractor with a strong pipeline of secured work. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially astute professional looking to play a key role in delivering high-quality projects while working within a supportive and collaborative team.

Reporting directly to the Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for managing the commercial aspects of projects from pre-construction through to final account, ensuring costs are effectively controlled while maintaining strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and the wider project team.

The Role

  • Manage the commercial performance of multiple construction projects.
  • Prepare, submit, and negotiate valuations, variations, and final accounts.
  • Procure and manage subcontractor packages.
  • Monitor project costs, budgets, and cash flow.
  • Identify and manage commercial risks and opportunities.
  • Provide accurate financial reporting to the Commercial Manager.
  • Work closely with operational teams to ensure successful project delivery.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and supply chain partners.

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.
