My client is a well-established fit out specialist, delivering high-quality commercial interiors across sectors including offices, education, healthcare, hospitality and retail. Due to continued growth, they're looking to appoint a proactive Contracts Manager to oversee multiple projects from pre-construction through to completion.
The Role
You'll be responsible for managing several fit out projects simultaneously, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
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.
