Don’t panic. Control it. Most projects do not lose control because nobody reported the issue. They lose control because nobody challenged it early enough.
I’m looking for cost, risk, and project controls people who can spot exposure before the report catches up.
I’m recruiting for several long-term roles on a confidential major industrial delivery programme in South Wales.
This is a live, site-led project controls environment where cost movement, risk exposure, change visibility, and forecast confidence need to be understood early — not explained after the damage is done.
Current Requirements
Project Cost Controllers
- 3–4 roles
- £400–£500/day
Project Risk Controllers / Risk Analysts
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.

This will not suit someone looking for a fully remote reporting-only role.
