Working as part of a friendly and collaborative team, you will be involved in delivering a varied portfolio of civil engineering projects across residential, commercial, education, healthcare, leisure, industrial and other development sectors.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Civil Engineer looking to develop their career within a consultancy that combines technical expertise with practical, commercially focused engineering solutions.

  • Managing your own projects and deadlines.
  • Providing technical guidance and mentoring to less experienced members of the team, where appropriate.
  • Contributing to the continued development and growth of the Cardiff civil engineering 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.
