We are looking for an experienced Site Surveyor to join our WPS Planned Works team in the North West to work on a current SHF Wave 3 Retrofit Scheme in Halton (near Runcorn).

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing planned works across social housing contracts focusing on cost control
  • Producing and submitting monthly cost value reconciliations (CVRs) and progress reports
  • Procurement, managing subcontractors, producing external valuations and cash flows
  • Working closely with Commercial Managers on budgets, profit plans and final accounts
  • Ensuring compliance with Health & Safety standards and Wates processes
  • Attending monthly client progress meetings (both in person and on-line)
  • Building strong relationships with clients, residents, subcontractors and internal teams
  • Supporting continuous improvement and high standards of customer satisfaction

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.
