This role offers the chance to work on high-profile capital projects, supporting the delivery of major programmes across the built environment sector. The successful candidate will gain exposure to building surveying services, project delivery, quality assurance and NEC contract administration whilst working alongside experienced professionals. This position would particularly suit a graduate with an interest in construction quality, project assurance and contract administration who is keen to develop towards Chartered status.

You will also assist with NEC Supervisor duties, ensuring works are delivered in accordance with project specifications and contractual requirements.
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.
