Lead. Build. Grow.
Head of Gabion Division | UK
Some career moves give you a new title. Others give you the chance to build something of your own.
An established civil engineering contractor is looking for an experienced engineer to take the lead of its specialist Gabion Division.
The division already has an excellent reputation, an established client base and around £1m turnover.
The ambition?
To grow it to £8m over the next five years, expand its presence across the UK and take on increasingly complex projects.
And they're looking for someone who wants to help make that happen.
There are two routes into this role.
- You might already be a gabion, retaining wall or ground engineering specialist, ready to take your experience into a role with much greater responsibility, autonomy and commercial influence.
- Or you might be an experienced Civil Engineer / Project Manager who has spent your career successfully delivering complex projects, managing clients and teams, and taking commercial responsibility — but you're now ready for something different.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You don't need to have spent your career in gabions; You do need to be someone who is technically credible, commercially aware, curious and hungry for a challenge.
Initially, you'll work closely with the Managing Director, getting to know the business, its clients and its opportunities. You'll oversee engineering solutions, gabion and retaining-wall designs, tenders and project delivery.
But this role goes well beyond engineering.
You'll also:
- Build and develop client relationships
- Identify and pursue new opportunities
- Help grow the division commercially
- Develop and lead the team
- Represent the business within the industry
- Influence the direction of the division
- Ultimately take ownership of its performance and growth

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The long-term vision is for you to become the person who runs this part of the business. This isn't about stepping into an established position and doing the same thing somewhere else. It's about taking something that already works and building it into something significantly bigger.
So, if you're a gabion specialist looking for your next level…
Or an experienced civil engineer who's ready to step outside the traditional career path and take on a genuinely different challenge…
Either way, the opportunity is the same: Take something that already works. Build it into something much bigger. And put your name on it.
