Your New Company

A leading provider of integrated highway maintenance and lighting solutions, this organisation is committed to delivering high-quality services that ensure the safety and functionality of the road network. Working closely with local authorities and stakeholders, they strive to minimise disruption and enhance communities through effective communication and operational excellence.

The Role

As the Public Liaison Officer you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the works within the community. You will be tasked with building productive relationships with local stakeholders (business, schools, churches) that are directly affected by the construction and ensuring they are aware of what is taking place. If need be, you will help in assisting with anything that can be done to reduce the impact on their day-to-day lives.

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.
