Senior Quantity Surveyor | Toronto, Canada

Relocation Opportunity for Quantity Surveyors in Ireland & the UK

Toronto continues to see significant investment across major construction and infrastructure projects, and our clients are particularly interested in Quantity Surveyors with strong commercial experience gained with leading contractors in Ireland or the UK.

You’ll join a leading Toronto-based General Contractor, taking commercial responsibility for major construction projects from pre-construction through to final account. Typical responsibilities will include:

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.
