The successful candidate will form part of a busy team who are responsible for the maintenance and processing of new and existing consents for over 60,000+ landowners and for delivering high quality customer service to both internal and external customers.

Environmental and landowner searches are required for numerous projects, along with the processing of land damage and compensation claims.
You will also be required to support the Wayleave Officers by speaking to customers and landowners about the progress of new connections and land rights.
This is a busy and fast-paced team which receives multiple enquiries each day from Landowners, Agents, Solicitors, Developers, Local Authorities, and Engineers relating to our existing consents and current projects, and you will be required to respond to these effectively.
The hours of work are Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:40pm (37.5 hours).
Interviews will be taking place on Tuesday 4th August, in Castleford.
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.
