About the Role
Here at United Infrastructure, our responsive team is growing and we are recruiting an Assistant Contracts Manager to come and join us. We are looking for a candidate that has experience of managing reactive repairs, voids and disrepair contract models, overseeing direct labour and supply chain models and implementing efficiencies. Our ideal candidate is an Assistant Contracts Manager managing a responsive delivery model. Experience in Housing is preferred but not essential.

Our commercial and operational teams are integrated to ensure that we offer best value and service to our clients. Procurement will be a major part of the role, including negotiating packages of work with our subcontractors and supply chain partners.
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.
