With a programme expected to run for up to two years, this role offers stability, competitive rates and the chance to play a key commercial role on a nationally significant project within the growing renewable energy sector.
Your new role

This is a full-time role with a strong site presence required, working closely with project stakeholders to ensure commercial objectives are achieved throughout the project lifecycle.
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.
