Cobalt’s Construction and Development team recruits permanent and temporary professionals into Construction Consultancies, Tier 1 Contractors, Developers, Landed Estates, and Investment Funds. We cover Project Management, Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Development, and Design, operating within Cobalt’s wider Real Estate platform.

Being part of a broader Real Estate business gives us exposure across the full development lifecycle, stronger client relationships, and access to a diverse, high calibre talent pool.

As a Managing Consultant, you will generate personal NFI in a 360 role while leading and developing a team. This is a billing leadership position with responsibility for both revenue delivery and team performance.

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.
