Your new company

You'll be joining a leading main contractor with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects across the UK. They are currently working on a major student accommodation development in Edinburgh and are seeking an experienced Freelance Fit-Out Manager to join their team.

Your new role

As Fit-Out Manager, you will oversee the internal fit-out works on this large-scale project. Your responsibilities will include managing subcontractors, ensuring quality standards, monitoring progress against programme, and maintaining health and safety compliance. You'll play a key role in delivering a high-spec finish on time and within budget.

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.
