Senior Quantity Surveyor – Residential Apartments | Preston

We’re currently working with a well-established main contractor who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to support the delivery of a high-quality residential apartment scheme in Preston.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business with a strong pipeline of residential developments across the North West.

The Role

  • Commercial management of a residential apartment project from start to final account
  • Procurement and management of subcontract packages
  • Cost reporting, forecasting, and budget control
  • Managing valuations, variations, and subcontract payments
  • Preparing and agreeing final accounts
  • Working closely with operational teams to ensure commercial targets are achieved
  • Supporting the wider commercial team where required

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.
