As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll play an important role in supporting the successful delivery of Hinkley Point C, helping shape the future of low-carbon energy while developing your career your way.
The Opportunity
As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll support the delivery of major contracts and work packages at Hinkley Point C, one of Europe's largest and most ambitious nuclear construction projects. Working alongside experienced Project Managers and multidisciplinary teams, you'll contribute to engineering, procurement, manufacturing, construction and handover activities, helping ensure work is delivered safely, on time, to quality standards and within budget.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to build your project management career within a highly technical environment. You'll gain exposure to project controls, planning, governance, stakeholder engagement and contract delivery, while developing knowledge across commercial, engineering, construction and programme management disciplines. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll build valuable project delivery expertise on a nationally significant project.
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.
