Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There is genuine variety in the role, giving you the opportunity to build a broad technical skill set rather than being restricted to one area of surveying.
About You
We’re looking for someone with:
- A degree in Building Surveying or a closely related subject
- Some practical or consultancy-based Building Surveying experience
- A genuine interest in developing a career within consultancy
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- Confidence dealing with clients, colleagues, and contractors
- A willingness to get out on site and develop your technical knowledge
- A clear ambition to work towards chartership / APC
You don’t need to have years of experience. We are particularly interested in candidates who have a solid academic background, some exposure to real surveying work, and the attitude to learn and progress.
APC & Development
Professional development is a major part of the opportunity. The consultancy provides structured support towards professional qualification, with CPD, mentoring, masterclasses, and dedicated support for graduates and early-career professionals. You’ll be surrounded by experienced surveyors who can help you build the technical and professional experience required to progress through your APC.
