Summer is unfortunately nearly over, so if you’ve been putting off thinking about your next move, now might be a good time to start looking at what’s out there.
I’m recruiting for an established building consultancy that’s looking for an Associate Director Building Surveyor to join its London team.
The position involves technical delivery, client relationships, business development, and team leadership and you’ll work closely with the Head of Building Surveying, with the opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of the team.
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.
