Join a growing structural engineering business
An established and highly respected structural engineering company is continuing to expand and is looking to appoint an experienced Contracts Manager to join its successful project delivery team.
Working alongside three other Contracts Managers, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality projects, building strong client relationships and ensuring contracts are completed safely, efficiently and profitably.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a financially secure and growing business with an excellent reputation within the industry.
The Role
You will manage multiple projects from award through to completion, working closely with clients, site teams, subcontractors and internal departments to ensure successful delivery.
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.
