Align is a multi-award-winning, multidisciplinary property and infrastructure consultancy. We provide architectural, design, engineering, estates, commercial agency and wider consultancy services to clients across the public and private sectors.
Established in 2015 and wholly owned by North Yorkshire Council, Align has grown considerably – almost six times the size – and is now one of the largest multidisciplinary consultancies in the North of England, with a multi-million-pound turnover. We are only continuing to expand, with this new role reflecting that growth and representing an exciting opportunity to join us, as we embark on the next phase in our growth plan.

You will help to set professional standards, guide technical assurance and create the conditions for the team to deliver high-quality and compliant work. This role focuses on shaping our service, developing our people, and strengthening client relationships, while overseeing project delivery at a strategic level and contributing to the continued growth and success of Align.
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.
