You will report to the consultancy department head but will work closely with other service lines as well as other offices. You will be degree level qualified in an appropriate discipline and have experience in geo-environmental consultancy work with the ability to take projects from initial design stage through to implementation and completion. A relevant chartership and/or other professional qualification is not mandatory but would be beneficial.
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.
