We are urgently seeking Design Managers with experience in Data Centres for a major Contractor based along the M4 Corridor. Ideal candidates will live within daily commute of Reading, as the role will require both office attendance and regular visits to sites in the region.

Projects will be in excess of £40m in value, and recent relevant experience would be advantageous.

The company offer an excellent salary and package, and are a growing force in the region, adding to its already impressive portfolio of works throughout the UK and overseas.

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.
