An opportunity has arisen within The Housing Services Team for a Planned Works Surveyor
Do you have experience managing planned maintenance or capital improvement projects in social housing or a similar environment? Are you confident acting as a contract administrator—overseeing contractors, managing budgets, and ensuring compliance with regulations like Section 20 and CDM? Can you provide an example of how you've ensured high-quality standards and resident satisfaction during a major works project?
Operational Duties & Accountabilities This is a key role in delivering high-quality planned maintenance and capital improvement projects that directly impact residents' homes and communities. The post involves end-to-end project management—from procurement through to completion—ensuring works are delivered on time, within budget, and to a high standard. It requires sound knowledge of housing regulations, including Section 20 and CDM, alongside strong collaboration skills to work effectively with contractors, residents, and internal teams. The role offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful improvements in housing quality while developing and leading successful projects.
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.
