Senior Quantity Surveyor - Glasgow

Senior Quantity Surveyor – Global Engineering & Project Management Consultancy


About the Role

You will be joining a leading global engineering and project management consultancy with a strong presence across the UK. Known for delivering complex infrastructure and engineering projects, this organisation thrives in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and professional development.


Responsibilities

As a Senior Quantity Surveyor, your role will entail:

  • Commercial management of major projects, including cost planning, contract administration, risk management, and stakeholder engagement across the project lifecycle.
  • Close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to provide commercial expertise, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, while upholding high standards of quality and compliance.

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.
