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.

Why This Opportunity?
This is far more than a traditional estate management role. You'll be given the autonomy to manage your own workload while gaining exposure to a broad range of rural professional disciplines. One day you could be negotiating a lease renewal, the next reviewing a renewable energy proposal, advising on a natural capital project, undertaking a valuation or working with consultants on a development opportunity. The estate encourages involvement across a variety of projects, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to broaden their professional experience and develop into a well-rounded rural surveyor.
About You
We're looking for someone who is passionate about the rural sector and enjoys building strong relationships while managing a varied workload.
