Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and expert estates specialist to join our Estates and Facilities Team to act as the Responsible Person for Water Safety and as a Estates Liaison on capital schemes for estates matters. In this role you’ll act as the key liaison on estates matters between our Operational Estates Teams and our Capital Team colleagues.

You will act part of the Senior Team of Operational Estates and may could be expected to be part of an on call rota.
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.
