Graduate Quantity Surveyors

Graduate Quantity Surveyors - Summer/Autumn 2025 starts.

We have a number of opportunities across the UK&I for Quantity Surveying graduates to work within our cost management teams, to help provide construction cost management services to our clients in the UK, Ireland and around the world.

AECOM provides Cost Management services to Clients in both the public and private sector, and to organisations in all areas of the Construction Industry including:

• Commercial – new build, refurbishment and fit out for major property developers.
• Manufacturing, Industrial and Automotive facilities.
• Education establishments including schools, academies, colleges and universities.
• Health and Science – for leading edge health authorities and research organisations.
• Residential developments for major developers.
• Leisure and Culture projects such as theatres, concerts halls and museums.
• Infrastructure schemes, including large scale rail, highways, and water projects.

What you'll do:

Graduates will have the opportunity to work on local projects, as well as to interact with teams based across the UK&I and potentially further afield.

You will have the opportunity to be involved in all stages of a project; from initial project definition and brief, cost planning, through to procurement, construction and building use. You will work with a wide variety of clients and designers including some very high-profile names. We believe that doing the work itself gives the best opportunity to learn, so you can expect to be given responsibility, and will need to be able to work both autonomously and as part of a team, all whilst receiving the guidance and support to allow you to develop.

Job Responsibilities:

The Cost Management role we offer can be varied and is dependent on the Client, sector, and project. The role is generally split in to pre and post contract duties, which can include:

Pre-Contract:

• Cost modelling and cost planning.
• Benchmarking.
• Value and Risk Analysis.
• Attending design team meetings.
• Procurement tasks and managing tender processes.
• Compilation of contract documentation.

Post Contract:

• Attendance at site progress meetings.
• Completion of Valuations.
• Financial reporting.
• Due Diligence reporting.
• Review and management of change control procedures.

A Quantity Surveying Graduate at AECOM will have the opportunity to assist in all of the above tasks and see projects from inception to completion on site.
