Team Leader (Civil Site)
Right across infrastructure, there’s a requirement to not only maintain, but also renew and reimagine.
Whatever stage you’re at in your career, with us you’ll have an opportunity to grow and develop. Delivering essential infrastructure services for life, while being safety first, and client and customer centric in a friendly, fun and respectful environment where you are encouraged to thrive.
Where will you be working?
We help our clients safeguard the water supply, improve environmental performance and manage demand for future generations. We enhance and extend asset life, ensuring compliance with water quality and environmental standards. We’re problem solvers with over 140 years of combined experience in engineering and infrastructure.
This role will be within our water and wastewater capital project delivery team. Our teams deliver large-scale capital programmes aimed at keeping water infrastructure resilient for the long-term while protecting the environment.
Want to be a part of it?
What will you be doing?
As our Civil Site Team Leader within our Construction Team, you will supervise projects from inception to completion on our Anglian Water contract based in Colchester. Working under the Site Manager, you will manage day-to-day site operations, leading delivery teams and sub-contractors to ensure works are completed safely, on programme and within budget across multiple concurrent projects.
You'll be accountable for SHEQ performance, implementing and monitoring health, safety, environmental, quality and performance standards. This includes completing and recording SHEQ inspections, toolbox talks, risk assessments, method statements, personal health and safety checks and MTRAs. You will drive positive safety culture, ensure near misses are reported, and promote waste reduction through efficient working practices and recycling initiatives.
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.
