About the Role

Right across infrastructure, there’s a requirement to not only maintain, but also renew and reimagine. Whatever stage you’re at in your career; with us you’ll have an opportunity to grow and develop.

This role is responsible for the preparation, review, and delivery of accurate, competitive, and commercially sound estimates to support the successful acquisition of profitable contracts. Responsibilities include evaluating tender enquiries, producing detailed cost estimates, obtaining supplier and subcontractor quotations, and completing take-offs in line with quality assurance procedures. The role works closely with internal departments, clients, and project teams, attending site visits, tender reviews, and project handovers.

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.
