- Lead Construction Site Assessments (CSA), audits, and site inspections across all disciplines.
- Identify non-conformances (NCRs) and drive root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.
- Oversee MEP quality assurance, including review of method statements, ITPs, and submittals.
- Ensure installation, testing, and commissioning activities meet engineering, statutory, and client standards.
- Define quality requirements within procurement and subcontract packages.
- Manage subcontractor and supplier quality performance, including inspections and FATs where required.
- Maintain full lifecycle quality documentation, traceability, and audit readiness.
- Prepare quality KPIs, dashboards, and reports for project leadership.

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.
