About Us

We work alongside many of the UK’s leading main contractors on prestigious residential, commercial, hospitality and mixed-use developments, with quality, professionalism and attention to detail at the heart of everything we do.
We’re looking for an experienced Construction Document Controller to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who already understands construction document management systems and can quickly become a key part of our project delivery team with minimal training.

You’ll work closely with our office staff, quantity surveyor and site teams to support the successful delivery of multiple live projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage project documentation across multiple client document management systems including Aconex, Asite, Dalux, Procore, RDrive and other client portals.
- Upload, maintain and organise documentation throughout each project’s lifecycle.
- Download, distribute and maintain the latest drawing revisions and technical information.
- Track drawing revisions and transmittals, ensuring only current information is issued to project teams.
- Organise and maintain project drawing folders and document registers using Dropbox and internal filing systems.
- Upload QA documentation, inspection records and photographic evidence to client systems.
- Manage pre-construction submissions including:
- Material samples
- Technical submittals
- Shop drawings
- Product information
- Upload and help to compile relevant Health and Safety documentation.
- Book site deliveries through client booking systems.
- Issue site induction links and assist with onboarding new operatives.
- Chase outstanding documentation from site teams and suppliers.
- Provide general administrative support to both office and site teams to assist in the successful delivery of 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.
