Your New Company
A leading provider of property maintenance, refurbishment, and facilities services is seeking an experienced Small Works Manager to join their team based in Larkhill. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in delivering a diverse portfolio of refurbishment and planned works projects, ensuring high standards of quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction.
Your New Role
As Small Works Manager, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of multiple refurbishment and improvement projects, including damp and mould programmes, kitchen and bathroom replacements, and full internal refurbishments.
You will manage projects from inception through to completion, overseeing procurement activities, contractor performance, budgets, programmes, and compliance requirements.

- Monitoring project performance against budgets, programmes, and quality standards.
- Managing contractor performance and ensuring value for money.

- Building strong relationships with customers and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
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.
