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.

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.

  • You'll also become the principal point of contact for clients, consultants and key stakeholders, helping to develop long-term relationships that generate repeat business and strengthen the company's reputation.

About You

  • You'll have a proven track record delivering major construction projects for a recognised main contractor and be comfortable leading multidisciplinary teams on complex design & build schemes.
  • You'll be commercially astute, an excellent communicator and a confident leader who enjoys taking ownership of projects while creating a collaborative, high-performing culture on site.
  • Experience within industrial, logistics, commercial or large-scale mixed-use developments would be highly advantageous, together with a strong understanding of programme management, value engineering, risk mitigation and client management.
