Are you passionate about helping clients make better, data-driven decisions? Do you thrive on facilitating workshops, running robust QCRA/QSRA models, and shaping project risk culture?

We are expanding our consulting team at optimise and looking for a talented Risk Manager to support major, nationally significant programmes across Utilities, Energy, Rail, and Construction.

What You’ll Do:

  • Facilitate & Manage: Lead interactive risk workshops and maintain dynamic project risk registers.
  • Model & Analyse: Run quantitative cost and schedule risk analyses (QCRA using @Risk and QSRA using PRA/Safran).
  • Advise & Report: Produce clear, insightful risk reports that drive effective client governance.
  • Collaborate: Work hand-in-hand with our multidisciplinary risk practitioner team and directly with major infrastructure clients.

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.
