EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Within this role you’ll work as part of a team working and covering the Leicestershire region, to carry out CCTV surveys of drainage systems. This will involve analysing pipe conditions with state-of-the-art surveying equipment to produce high-quality reports in both pre-planned and reactive settings.
These reports will help the Waste Network Team strategise and prioritise damaged assets accurately to continuously improve our network proactively. The key element of this role is being able to use and diagnose the faults using coding, this allows a report to be curated and then the work to repair can be distributed.
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.
