Tendering Specialist
Subsea7 are looking for a Tendering Specialist to join our Pipeline Group (PG) based in either our London, Paris, Glasgow or Aberdeen offices on a full-time, permanent basis.

The team places a clear emphasis on ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective offshore installation operations.

The role will support the Tender Lead/Proposal Manager throughout all phases of the tender process, from initial preparation through to the consolidation and submission of the final proposal. Following submission, the role will coordinate the handover to the Project Team for successful awards or manage the close-out and archiving process for unsuccessful bids.

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.
