The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to join one of the UK's most significant infrastructure programmes – Sizewell C – a once-in-a-generation clean energy project that will help power over 6 million homes for decades to come.
Working within the Civil Works Alliance (a partnership between Balfour Beatty, Bouygues Travaux Publics and Laing O'Rourke), you'll play a key role in transforming how complex construction activities are planned, visualised and communicated through digital technologies.
As a Digital Adoption Co-ordinator – 4D Planning & Animation, you'll support the development and adoption of 4D planning processes, digital simulations and visual communications that help project teams better understand construction methodologies and sequencing. Working closely with Digital, Planning and Engineering teams, you'll develop innovative solutions that improve collaboration, decision-making and project delivery.
What You'll Be Doing
- Supporting the development and implementation of 4D planning processes across the project
- Configuring and administering Synchro Pro and Synchro Control to support programme management and construction sequencing
- Developing workflows that improve programme reviews and support efficient project planning
- Producing high-quality 4D simulations and animation outputs that communicate construction methodologies to project teams and stakeholders
- Creating digital visualisations that support engineering, planning, construction and external communications
- Developing and maintaining libraries of 3D assets, temporary works components and material textures
- Supporting the packaging of 4D simulations and digital visualisations for use on mobile devices in the field
- Delivering training and guidance to project teams to encourage adoption of digital planning tools and workflows
- Working collaboratively with Digital, Planning and Engineering teams to identify opportunities for continuous improvement
- Supporting the wider Digital strategy through innovation, process improvement and the adoption of modern digital technologies
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.
