NEW ROLE WITH A NEW MAIN CONTRACTOR CLIENT EXPANDING THEIR PORTFOLIO IN THE UNITED KINGDOM! IF YOU ARE AN ESTIMATOR OR SENIOR ESTIMATOR - READ THIS AND APPLY!
Looking for that exciting new challenge with one of the worlds largest contractors? This role could be for you. I am currently on the search for a SENIOR ESTIMATOR or ESTIMATOR based in London or the M4 corridor with a heavy civils background.
My client is expanding their portfolio of work in the UK and looking to increase their turnover from £100m to around £250m in the next 2-3 years. As a business they work across a range of civil, rail and energy infrastructure projects at the moment and are looking to expand their net into other civil specialisms.
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.
