About the Role

We have an exciting opportunity for an individual aspiring to go into a management role to join the Schools of Construction and Engineering at our Hemel Hempstead Campus. We are looking for an inspirational, visionary, and dynamic individual who will work closely with the Heads of School across the management and quality of all curriculum provision including full-time, part-time, and apprenticeships.

A vital part of the role will be to support the management of people, quality assurance and improvement activities, employer engagement, and curriculum development. Previous experience of these activities within a Construction and Engineering context is desirable. Internal/External Quality Assessor qualifications are desirable.

Responsibilities

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.
