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.

We oversee how National Highways manages and upgrades England's motorways and major A-roads, ensuring it delivers better outcomes for road users through its asset management and capital investment projects. The strategic road network in England (the motorways and A roads) are critical connectors of growth, commerce and leisure. The SRN is managed, operated and enhanced by National Highways, a government-owned company. ORR’s Highways Team ensures that the company efficiently delivers better, smoother and safer roads on behalf of road users, taxpayers and communities.
The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC)
The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a new crossing of the Thames east of London and will alleviate pressure on the Dartford Crossing. The circa £10.6 billion project will be privately funded, built and run by a new company called LTC Co. It will also include the transfer of the existing Dartford Crossing to the private organisation. Charges for both will be set through a Regulated Asset Base (‘RAB’) model. We expect to take on a new and significant regulatory role for the Lower Thames Crossing and are looking to expand our Highways Team to accommodate this new role.
The Role
The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) Senior Performance Analyst will provide expert advice and high-quality analytical insight into the performance of the private sector organisation responsible for the delivery and operation of the Lower Thames Crossing and Dartford Crossing, focusing on outcomes for road users. You will lead the day-to-day monitoring of the operational performance of Dartford Crossing. This includes the organisational performance against legislative requirements, including Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Performance Indicators (PIs), across areas such as asset management, environmental impact and network delay. The role will be responsible for producing robust, regular performance reports for stakeholders, culminating in the annual performance assessment. The post will play a critical role in shaping the design of the performance regime and associated monitoring requirements, ensuring the private sector organisation is held to account for delivering its statutory obligations and agreed commitments for operation and construction. You will also work closely with the existing Highways team, maintaining oversight of National Highways and assessing how performance interactions between the two organisations are managed and optimised.
