  • Prepare and monitor project budgets, cost plans, cash flow forecasts, and commercial reports.
  • Assist with the procurement and management of specialist MEP subcontractors and suppliers, including tender analysis and contract administration.
  • Prepare applications for payment, valuations, variations, and final accounts.
  • Monitor project costs, identify commercial risks and opportunities, and support effective cost control throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Work closely with Project Managers, Engineers, and site teams to provide commercial support on live projects.
  • Assist in the administration of contracts, ensuring compliance with contractual obligations and company procedures.
  • Support the management of change control, claims, and dispute resolution where required.
  • Contribute to value engineering initiatives, helping deliver commercially viable and efficient MEP solutions.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, consultants, subcontractors, and suppliers.

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.
