The Project
This role will be working for a local authority client in the North West of England and will be dedicated to Highways maintenance who are responsible for the delivery of reactive, preventative, and planned maintenance activities working closely with the asset management team. They undertake maintenance interventions identified through asset management processes, helping to preserve the condition of the highway network and prevent deterioration before more extensive and costly repairs are required.
The highways planned maintenance team is responsible for developing and delivering programmes of preventative and structural maintenance across the highway network. This includes carriageway resurfacing, surface treatments, footway improvements, drainage works, and other asset maintenance activities designed to extend the life of highway infrastructure. The team uses condition data, inspections, and asset management principles to identify priorities, programme works, manage budgets, and oversee scheme delivery. By investing in planned maintenance, the team helps maintain safe and reliable roads and footways, reduces the need for more costly reactive repairs, and supports the long-term sustainability of the highway network.
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.
