Highways Scheme Manager

AWC are recruiting for an experienced Highways Scheme Manager to join our client's Highways division, managing structural maintenance and highways improvement schemes across the East of England.

You will oversee projects valued up to £500k and annual portfolios of approximately £4m, managing operational resources, programme delivery, health and safety, quality, and commercial performance. You will also work closely with clients and programme teams to plan and deliver highway maintenance schemes.

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.
