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.

What’s involved?
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced tanker operator to develop specialist skills within the drainage industry.
Operating a FlexLine/CityFlex tanker, you’ll enjoy a varied, hands-on role carrying out planned maintenance and occasional emergency work, including drainage cleaning, clearance, repair and maintenance.
Drainage tanker or CityFlex experience would be a real advantage, but it isn’t essential. If you have solid experience operating other tanker vehicles and are keen to learn, we’ll provide the training and support you need to develop your drainage expertise.
If you’re practical, safety-conscious and take pride in delivering a great service, we’d love to hear from you.
