This is a strategic real estate management position, not a facilities management or commercial office-only role. Our candidate will have substantial experience managing industrial assets - manufacturing facilities, laboratories, warehouses, or utilities infrastructure.
Veolia is seeking an experienced Senior Real Estate Manager to join our Real Estate team. This strategic position offers the opportunity to shape our European real estate portfolio while working with regional leadership. The role involves comprehensive management of our property portfolio, including lease administration, transaction management, and strategic site development. Working directly with the Global Director of Real Estate, you will have the autonomy to drive initiatives that create significant business impact.
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.
