An established civil engineering contractor with a strong reputation for delivering complex infrastructure schemes across Scotland is looking to appoint a Senior Quantity Surveyor to strengthen its commercial team.

This is a business built on long-term relationships, repeat work, and consistent project delivery across infrastructure, energy, and ground engineering sectors.

You’ll take ownership of commercially significant packages and play a key role in ensuring projects are delivered profitably and efficiently.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Commercial management of infrastructure projects from start to finish
  • Preparing and managing valuations, variations, and cost reports
  • Monitoring project financial performance and forecasting
  • Managing subcontractor accounts and procurement
  • Administering NEC contracts and managing change events
  • Working closely with operational teams to drive commercial performance
  • Supporting accurate and timely reporting to senior management

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.
