  • Apply jointing compounds and fillers to achieve a smooth, high-quality finish.
  • Sand and prepare completed areas ready for decoration.
  • Prepare surfaces by cleaning, scraping, sanding, and applying primers or sealers.
  • Fill cracks, holes, and surface imperfections using suitable materials.
  • Mix and apply paints, stains, varnishes, and other coatings.
  • Apply finishes using brushes, rollers, or spraying equipment.
  • Match colours and finishes to the required specifications.
  • Protect surrounding areas using masking materials and dust sheets.
  • Complete touch-ups and repairs where required.
  • Inspect completed work to ensure it meets the required quality standards.
  • Clean and maintain tools and equipment.
  • Work safely from ladders, access equipment, and scaffolding where required.
  • Communicate effectively with Site Managers, Project Managers, and other team members.

  • Maintain accurate records of materials used and hours worked.
  • This list is not exhaustive, and other reasonable duties may be required.

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.
