Your new company

A leading and well-established independent property consultancy with a strong presence across Scotland, this organisation is recognised for delivering high-quality surveying services to a diverse client base. Their portfolio spans commercial, residential, and public sector projects, offering exposure to a wide variety of work including traditional buildings, modern developments, and specialist property types.

  • Condition surveys and lifecycle assessments across varied property portfolios
  • Dilapidations (acting for both landlord and tenant) on high-value commercial assets
  • Contract administration and project management for fit-outs, renovations, and upgrades
  • Technical due diligence for acquisitions and disposals
  • Work on historic and listed buildings, requiring a sensitive and informed approach.
  • Insurance reinstatement projects following damage

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.
