Job Opportunity: General Foreman

I am currently recruiting on behalf of a main contractor based in the South Coast, specializing in facility management, civil engineering, and interior fit-out. This project is based in Portsmouth and involves a new bridge improvement civils project. They are seeking a General Foreman to join on a permanent basis, working Monday - Friday, starting as soon as possible. Salary is negotiable at this stage due to experience but typically ranges between £50k - £60k per annum plus package.

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.
