This is an opportunity to join the project from the very beginning, leading the mobilisation and delivery of the enabling works package before the site transitions into the main construction phase.

Role Overview

Reporting to the CSA Regional Director, you will have overall responsibility for the successful delivery of the enabling works package, leading site teams, engineers and specialist subcontractors while working closely with the client and wider project team.

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.
