We are supporting a 12-month FTC opportunity within one of the UK’s most forward-thinking, purpose-driven energy businesses.
This organisation sits at the forefront of the UK’s journey to net zero, with a genuinely positive, empowering culture and a legal team known for its collaboration, stability and long-term investment in people.
The business — and its legal function — are continuing to grow, creating real scope for longer-term opportunities beyond the initial contract. You’ll be joining at an exciting time, with the chance to contribute to major projects shaping the UK’s sustainable energy future.
You’ll work alongside experienced specialists on complex, high-value construction, projects and commercial matters. The work is strategic, impactful and intellectually stimulating — and you’ll be surrounded by colleagues who are generous with their time, pragmatic in their approach, and committed to your development.
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.
