About The Role
In this role, you will play a key part in creating and maintaining an accurate geospatial record of our land-based estate. Working closely with colleagues across Estates and Legal, you will help gather, verify and record information relating to land ownership and tenanted properties, ensuring records are accurate and up to date.
You will be responsible for researching land ownership information using a variety of sources, including Land Registry data, historic deeds and internal estate records. By reviewing and cross-checking information, you will help build a reliable geospatial database that supports effective estate management and decision-making.
The role involves regular collaboration with stakeholders across the business, requiring a keen eye for detail, strong organisational skills and the ability to analyse information from multiple sources. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys research, working with data and contributing to the management of a large and diverse property portfolio.
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.
