Your new company
A highly regarded engineering and construction business is continuing to strengthen its presence on the Anglian Water investment programme and is looking to appoint an experienced Site Manager in the Norwich area. With a busy schedule of clean water and wastewater projects planned across the region, they require additional site leadership to support project delivery.
This organisation has a strong reputation within the utility sector and offers the opportunity to work on a diverse range of infrastructure schemes as part of a long-term framework programme.
Your new role
Working as a Site Manager, you will take ownership of site-based activities, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with programme requirements. You will be responsible for managing operational teams and coordinating all aspects of construction delivery from mobilisation through to completion.
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.
