The Role

The post includes the delivery of Capital schemes for all building and engineering matters associated with the Trust and with values ranging from >£5k upwards to £20m. All such schemes will be implemented to agreed costs, timescales, and the required quality standards in order to deliver a modern efficient and sustainable Estates portfolio, which is compliant with all Estates and Facilities related Regulations, and to enable the ongoing and effective delivery of patient care.
The post holder will competently manage the provision of Building Improvement schemes through construction and engineering contractors and external specialist consultants and surveyors, to meet the requirements of the Trust Estates and Service strategies and the associated Capital and major revenue 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.
