Graduate Management Trainee Programme - Quantity Surveyor

Willmott Dixon Interiors have supported many graduates to join our management trainee scheme for over 40 years and many of these are now in senior managerial roles. We are currently recruiting for a quantity surveying trainee to join our London starting in September 2025.Our main office is based opposite the Old Bailey, London (but our construction projects themselves are in London and South East).

We are looking for the successful candidate to focus on Quantity Surveying but as part of this scheme you will be supported to spend time in other areas of construction including site management, design management and other areas of pre-construction on a placement basis. This provides you with broad construction experience and supports your career development.

As a Trainee Quantity Surveyor your career is all about managing the costs of a project. This will include preparing tender and contract documents, weighing up commercial risks, procuring the best supply chain and managing payments for completed work.

We welcome applications from graduates studying a construction related degree as well as graduates from other subjects including STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Willmott Dixon believe that a willingness to learn and a passion to work in the construction industry can prove to be as important as technical skills. Our graduate programme lasts between 24 and 36 months depending upon your degree qualification, and you will be supported to study a professional qualification whilst gaining valuable, hands-on work experience on our construction projects. This is a structured, proven route to a management role in one of the most forward-thinking construction companies in the UK.
