About the Company

Our client is a well-established specialist subcontractor delivering a major, high-profile subcontract package in Central London on a landmark project for one of the UK's leading Tier One main contractors.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Senior Commercial Manager to lead the commercial management of this flagship project. This is a hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys being directly involved in the detail, rather than managing a large commercial team.

The initial contract is expected to run for 12 months or more.

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.
