An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Planner, or an ambitious Planner ready to step up, to join a busy and growing contractor with a strong pipeline of projects across the South West. This is a fantastic chance to become part of a high-performing team delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across multiple build sectors, including hospitals, prisons, commercial offices, schools and other major developments.
Working across both tender and contract stages, you will play a key role in developing and managing construction programmes, supporting project teams from early bid strategy through to successful delivery on site. With exposure to a wide range of technically challenging schemes, this role offers excellent variety, career development and the opportunity to make a real impact across a substantial regional workload.
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.
