I'm working with an energy infrastructure organisation looking for a junior construction contract specialist to join their Commercial team. This organisation prides itself on fostering a strong workplace culture, where people prefer collaborating in the office despite the hybrid working allowance. You will be supported to grow professionally all the while building long-lasting relationships with people across the business.
About the Role
You will support a Commercial team of 5 and a wider Services team of 50 in reviewing a range of construction contracts for various projects, including NEC and JCT with the assistance of the in-house Legal function.
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.
