What Are We Looking For?
We are seeking a candidate with a minimum of 1 year experience in the UK building structures sector, ideally within a consulting environment. You’ll be comfortable working under the guidance of senior engineers, but confident enough to take initiative and manage your own workload. You should have hands-on experience with both traditional and contemporary materials (e.g., concrete, steel, timber, masonry), and familiarity with UK building regulations and design codes.
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.
