Senior Quantity Surveyor | Major Highways Infrastructure Project
Location: Bristol (Hybrid Working)
Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 + Company Car / Car Allowance + Benefits
A leading infrastructure contractor is seeking a Senior Quantity Surveyor to join its South West business and play a key role in the delivery of a flagship £15m highways improvement scheme in Bristol.
The project will transform a key transport corridor into the city, improving traffic flow, upgrading public transport infrastructure, and delivering significant environmental improvements. As one of the region's most high-profile civil engineering schemes, the project represents a major investment in Bristol's future transport network.
This is an opportunity to join a well-established contractor with a strong reputation for delivering complex infrastructure projects across the UK. Beyond the initial scheme, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work across an extensive pipeline of secured highways and civil engineering projects throughout the region.
The Role
As Senior Quantity Surveyor, you will take ownership of the commercial management of the project while leading, supporting, and developing a small commercial team.
Working closely with the Project Director and senior commercial leadership team, you will ensure robust commercial governance is maintained throughout the project lifecycle, driving commercial performance while helping to develop others within your commercial team and the wider region.
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.
