Flexible and remote working are central to our culture. So, talk to us about how we can support you. How about opting for reduced workweeks or purchasing extra leave during school holidays?

  • Collect, analyse, and interpret cost and project data to support client and stakeholder decision-making.
  • Prepare benchmarking, value management, and cost assurance outputs, identifying trends, risks, and key cost drivers.
  • Ensure commercial data, forecasts, and reports are accurate, robust, and maintained throughout project delivery.
  • Build effective relationships with clients, stakeholders, and multidisciplinary teams while providing commercial advice and support.
  • Champion innovation, continuous improvement, and the development of tools, dashboards, and digital solutions to enhance commercial performance and reporting.

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.
