Join a Leading Tier 1 Contractor
This is a chance to join a highly professional Tier 1 Contractor and step into an established, well regarded framework team with a strong pipeline of work ahead. If you want variety, real ownership and a manager who trusts you to get on with the job, then you will want to consider this position.
Experienced Site Agents with a genuine interest in moving into planning are also encouraged to apply.
What's in it for you
Genuine variety, every day. You'll be involved across the full project lifecycle, from identifying and tendering opportunities through to delivery. No two days will look the same.
A team that makes your life easier. The team is highly competent, self-sufficient and well respected by the client. You'll be joining a group that already works well together, not one that needs rescuing.
Secure, high-profile workload. The framework turns over around £25M a year, with a strong pipeline that includes new aircraft stands, apron works and a range of smaller schemes. There's also scope to support other projects and frameworks across the UK aviation portfolio, which spans major commercial airports and military sites.
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.
Real flexibility and trust. The role is four days a week on site, but this can flex, for example three days one week and four the next. If you need to attend an appointment, that's fine. Nobody will be clocking you in and out or micromanaging your time.
Supportive, informal leadership. You'll report to the Head of Planning for the Aviation division, who runs weekly catch-ups, talks through challenges with you and offers support when needed, while giving you the freedom to drive things yourself.
Client facing influence. You'll work directly with the client, collaborating on solutions rather than simply producing programmes in isolation.
A business that invests in its people. Senior vacancies rarely come up because the company is known for developing and promoting from within. This is an opportunity to join an organisation where people build long careers.
Training if you're moving into planning. If you're an experienced Site Agent looking to make the move into full-time planning, training will be provided.
