Preservation Surveyor – Edinburgh

Due to the growth of the preservation industry and a shortage of qualified surveyors, we are now welcoming applications from related industries. If you have experience in face-to-face sales and have worked in areas such as windows and doors, insulation, roofing, ventilation, or other home improvement services, we’d love to hear from you. Call us for an informal chat about how we could work together.

Richardson & Starling – Edinburgh

In business for 90 years Richardson & Starling are the largest building preservation contractor in Scotland and one of the largest in the UK. We offer a comprehensive range of property preservation and repair services to property owners, building professionals, local businesses and local authorities.

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.
