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.

- Demonstrable contract administration experience

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will need to be comfortable with regular European travel and enjoy remaining hands-on with project delivery.
This is particularly suited to an experienced cost professional looking for an in-house role with autonomy, international exposure, and a varied pipeline of hospitality projects, rather than someone looking to move quickly away from projects into senior management.
