About the Opportunity
I'm working on behalf of a well-established surveying practice who are looking to add a motivated Building Surveyor to their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is either:
- Currently working towards their APC and seeking structured support, or
- A chartered Building Surveyor/ Senior to Associate level eager to take the next step in their career.
Clear opportunity to move into Directorship
The firm offers a varied portfolio of projects across residential, commercial, industrial and heritage sectors, giving you the chance to broaden your experience and develop your professional expertise. Duties span both professional duties, including surveys, dilapidation and party wall matters, as well as high-end residential and commercial refurbishment projects up to £3-5M in value.
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.
