Role Overview
This isn’t simply an Associate vacancy.
The current MD is approaching retirement and we are looking to bring someone into the business who can initially join at Associate level, become an integral part of the leadership team and, importantly, have a clear path to potentially succeed him.
Company Description
The consultancy is an established, highly profitable Employee-Owned MEP & Sustainability practice of around 55 people. They deliberately remain at this size, but punch considerably above their weight in terms of clients and projects.
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.
