- Supporting contract administration from inception through to completion

- Working closely alongside Chartered Building Surveyors to develop your technical and client-facing skills
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.
What they're looking for:
- At least 2 years' experience in a professional consultancy environment
- Working towards MRICS

- A strong academic record and the ability to pick things up quickly
- An enthusiastic, motivated and reliable approach
- The ability to think independently, show initiative and maintain a can-do attitude
- A genuine passion for building surveying and a team-first attitude
- Experience in the education sector is a strong plus, though not essential
What's in it for you:
- Competitive, negotiable salary (DOE) plus car allowance
- Private healthcare and pension scheme
- Performance-related bonus, plus new business, spot and Christmas bonus schemes (discretionary)
- Life insurance and professional subscriptions paid
- Additional holiday entitlement with long service
- Electric vehicle scheme
