Are you a recent Graduate in Agriculture, Horticulture, Sportsturf, Turfgrass Science or a related subject looking to develop your career within sports surface consultancy?
Do you want structured training, mentoring and hands-on experience across a wide range of sports facility projects? This company provides specialist consultancy services across a wide range of sports surface and sports facility projects throughout the UK and overseas, working on projects from community and grassroots facilities through to elite and professional sport. Projects can include football pitches, golf courses, horse racing surfaces, tennis courts, cricket facilities and other natural and synthetic sports surfaces.
In this role, you will combine site-based technical work with desk-based analysis and consultancy activities, carrying out sports surface testing, analysing technical data, preparing reports and supporting the design, development and construction of sports facilities.
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.
