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.
Our Graduate Programme is a carefully designed 27-month rotational journey that offers up to three business rotations across the UK, Ireland, and Europe, giving you broad exposure and the opportunity to shape your career path, fusing technical excellence, commercial acumen, and leadership capabilities.
From day one, you'll follow a detailed development plan aligned to a clear timeline, ensuring you gain the experience and competencies required to pursue professional chartership. We’re committed to helping you build a strong technical foundation and excel in your chosen area of specialism.
The programme blends structured learning, hands-on project work, and expert mentoring to deliver both depth and breadth of knowledge. With robust progress tracking, regular feedback, and a dedicated support network, you’ll be empowered to grow with confidence and make a meaningful impact.
What We are looking For
- A collaborative team player with fresh ideas, ready to challenge yourself, and us, every step of the way.
- A passion for the built environment and a drive to make a difference.
- Curiosity, resilience, and a commitment to technical excellence.

- Geographic mobility is essential - you’ll be expected to work across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, including at least one rotation outside of your home jurisdiction.
The selection process has been designed to ensure that we, as a company, select the right individuals that will thrive with us, but also that you, as a candidate, select the right company to build and shape your career with.
