This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is highly organised, proactive and commercially aware, with a good understanding of the architectural process and RIBA stages.
The role is particularly focused on RIBA Stages 2, 3 and 4, with a strong emphasis on coordination, project administration, tracking and keeping projects moving efficiently.

- Monitoring design deliverables, deadlines and project milestones
- Helping coordinate architectural and consultant information
- Identifying potential issues or gaps early and proactively finding solutions
- Supporting the project team with detailed project administration
- Helping ensure projects remain organised, efficient and on programme
- Assisting with the development and improvement of project management systems and processes within the practice
- Taking responsibility for the day-to-day coordination that helps keep senior architects' workloads manageable
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.
