Senior Quantity Surveyor | Birmingham | £65,000–£70,000

I’m currently recruiting for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join a growing Property Services team in Birmingham.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially strong QS who is looking for a role with long-term stability, responsibility and genuine progression. The successful candidate will be joining a business delivering a major Birmingham programme across planned works and property maintenance, with significant growth expected across the commercial team.

The Role

You’ll take a lead role in the commercial management of projects, working closely with operational teams, clients, subcontractors and the wider commercial function.

  • Managing commercial performance across planned works and refurbishment programmes
  • Cost management, forecasting and commercial reporting
  • Subcontractor procurement and management
  • Valuations, payments and final accounts
  • Contract administration and change management
  • Identifying and managing commercial risks and opportunities
  • Working closely with operational teams to ensure projects are delivered commercially and efficiently

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.

What I’m Looking For

I’m particularly interested in speaking with experienced Quantity Surveyors / Senior Quantity Surveyors who have worked within:

  • Property Services
  • Planned Maintenance
  • Social Housing
  • Refurbishment
  • Main Contracting
  • General Construction

For this position, you’ll need to be comfortable operating independently and taking ownership of your commercial responsibilities. Technical capability is important, but just as importantly, the business is looking for someone with a positive attitude, strong work ethic and a genuine desire to build a long-term career.
