Location: Hybrid (UK with some onsite travel)
Sector: Utilities / Critical Infrastructure
Contract: Outside IR35
Duration: 6 Months

We're supporting a leading Utilities & Critical Infrastructure organisation as they deliver a major cyber transformation programme. We're looking for an experienced Cyber Security Consultant to help shape the future of cyber resilience across a complex operational environment.
Working alongside senior cyber advisors, you'll play a key role in re-sequencing the organisation's cybersecurity roadmap, baselining the current security architecture and cyber maturity, and defining meaningful KPIs that will support long-term cyber improvement. You'll also help build capability within the client's internal cyber team.
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.
