Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who We're Looking For
We're keen to hear from Building Surveyors who:
- Have a minimum of 5 years' experience in residential building surveying.
- Are MRICS or FRICS qualified (preferred).
- Have at least 3 years' post-qualification experience.
- Can confidently manage instructions independently from appointment through to completion.
- Possess strong report-writing and communication skills.
- Are comfortable dealing directly with homeowners, tenants, housing providers, block managers, managing agents, architects, contractors, solicitors, and insurers.
- Are professional, organised, personable, and commercially aware.
What We Offer
- Flexible working arrangements to suit your availability.
- A steady stream of interesting residential surveying commissions.
- Competitive hourly remuneration commensurate with experience, qualifications, and expertise.
- Opportunities for regular repeat instructions and long-term collaboration.
- Administrative and technical support where required.
