Make every drop of your potential count!

As our region flourishes and grows at one of the fastest rates in the UK, it is essential we have assets and investments which have the capacity to provide clean and safe running water.

Essential to achieving our commitment to safe and quality water is our Strategic Investment Management team who are responsible for defining and implementing an industry leading asset management approach and developing forward investment plans with a value of £6.5bn.

To help the Strategic Investment Management team with these aims and objectives, we have an exciting opportunity for a Cost Intelligence Analyst to join us on a full-time basis, based out of our Peterborough office.

What will you be doing?

The Cost Intelligence Analyst role is a great opportunity for a professional who is looking to thrive in an open and challenging environment. Focused on ensuring that service providers provide accurate and timely capital and operational cost data, in addition you will support the Cost Engineers in the development of cost relationships to ensure Total Expenditure (TOTEX) estimates are provided for all activities.

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.
