Your new role
You will be responsible for overseeing and monitoring environmental performance on construction projects, ensuring activities are carried out in line with environmental standards and regulations. Similar to an Environmental Advisor, the role involves regularly checking site activities, auditing contractor compliance, and producing clear reports on environmental performance and any incidents. They act as a key point of contact on site, supporting teams and stepping in when issues arise to ensure they are properly addressed. The role requires strong construction environmental experience, with a focus on compliance monitoring, detailed reporting, and a good awareness of ecological considerations.
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.
