As our Gas Division continues to grow, we are seeking a committed on-site Quantity Surveyor (or SQS) to support long-term maintenance and construction works at the St Fergus Gas Terminal.
About the Role
This is a site-based Quantity Surveyor position working within a major hazards environment on the above 7-bar Gas Transmission (NTS) network. You will support live maintenance, project works, and multi-discipline construction activity across ongoing contract workstreams at St Fergus.
You will be embedded within the delivery team, working closely with operational leads, planners, engineers, and client representatives to ensure robust commercial 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.
