Octavius are looking for experienced Site Managers to join our team working on Highways Projects in the North.

These roles will support the delivery of schemes on National Highways' Northern SDF framework, in National Highways Areas 10, 12, 13 & 14. We are looking for candidates located in Yorkshire, the North West & the North East.

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.
