Ever walked into a brand new supermarket and wondered how it all comes together behind the scenes? Somebody estimated it. That somebody could be you.
This is a rare chance to join one of the UK's leading retail building services specialists, a business that has spent more than twenty years turning empty shells into the large scale stores you recognise from every high street and retail park in the country. Full M&E, fit-out, fixtures and displays, delivered at pace and at scale, with a client book of national supermarket brands and projects reaching across the UK, Europe and Australia. They are also recognised as one of Britain's fastest growing private companies, and they are still growing.
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.
