Find your right-fit early careers programme and get ready to work on real challenges that will grow your knowledge and confidence with every passing day.

As a Graduate Planner, you’ll be part of a team that’s doing incredible things – for ourselves, for the built environment around us, and for a truly sustainable future.
About the Role
Our Graduate opportunities could take you to any of our UK sites, where you’ll find out what we do and how we do it, contribute to projects, and grow your knowledge, network, and responsibilities. In addition, we will support you through your 2-year Graduate Programme to develop and progress in your chosen career path. As a Graduate Planner, you will be responsible for:
- Learn the principles and best practices in programme development and time management on complex projects
- Gain an understanding in the application of digital planning technologies, such as 3D logistics and 4D build simulation
- Review 2D and 3D design information, and support quantification and the application of production rates

- Measure and record project progress, and prepare time-related records
- Gain first-hand experience of construction project delivery, through design, procurement, and construction stages
What We Need from You
You'll be degree educated or due to graduate in the summer of 2027 (2:1 desirable) in a relevant subject. You should be focused and highly motivated, as well as excellent planning/prioritising and time-management skills. You will also need to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build relationships with stakeholders, as well as the ability to cope under pressure.
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.
