Job Description
A highly respected building & fit-out contractor with an enviable order book and spread of projects across the central belt of Scotland.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Site Manager to join a business who have a demonstrable record of developing and promoting from within.
Given the nature of recent project wins, Site Managers from a building background and a purely fit-out background would both be considered. Projects are around Edinburgh, so applicants must be within commuting distance.
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.
