Your new company

Our client is a leading multidisciplinary Built Environment Consultancy with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects across the UK. Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of work across Yorkshire and the wider region, they are seeking a Senior Building Surveyor to join their established Leeds team. The business operates across a diverse range of sectors including education, healthcare, public sector, residential, commercial, industrial and insurance, offering excellent opportunities for career development and progression.

Your new role

As a Senior Building Surveyor, you will play a key role in delivering a wide range of building surveying services, with a particular focus on project delivery and management. You will oversee projects from inception through to completion, coordinating multidisciplinary design teams and ensuring the highest standards of technical delivery. Alongside project work, you will develop and maintain strong client relationships, identify opportunities for repeat business, support business development activities, and mentor junior members of the team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious surveyor looking to take on greater responsibility within a growing and successful team.

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.
