- Maintain budget and risk reports and coach junior commercial colleagues on the evidence and processes required for client-side assurance work.
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.
Why This Role Matters
Transport capital programmes carry cost, contractual and supply-chain risks; commercial reviews of work packages make emerging exposures visible before they undermine forecasts or funding decisions. Contractual notices and payment records provide evidence for claims and disputes, allowing clients to assess supplier entitlements and proposed changes against the agreed contract.
