Excellent Opportunity for a Construction Lawyer
Work on High-Profile Net Zero Infrastructure Projects
This is an exceptional opportunity for a construction lawyer to work on high-profile net zero infrastructure projects which will help the UK reach its net zero target. Opportunities do not get better than this for construction lawyers seeking to work on some of the largest construction projects taking place in the UK!
About the Role
We are working with a FTSE 100 business with a West Midlands and Central London HQ which is looking to appoint a Senior Construction Lawyer with a minimum of 6 years plus PQE - we are also keen to hear from construction lawyers with substantive experience. Experience of NEC contracts is required plus any experience of FIDIC would also be useful but not essential.
You will form part of an established high-calibre team and work on some of the largest infrastructure projects in the UK with the business making a £30bn investment in infrastructure projects in the coming years.
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.
