We especially welcome candidates with a background in Quantity Surveying who have developed a strong commercial management focus or approach and are looking to apply those skills at Contract Manager level.
About the Role
You’ll be responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of projects in line with contractual obligations and procedures, while proactively managing and mitigating contractual and commercial risks.
Responsibilities
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.
