Job Title
I am recruiting for an established, highly respected, privately-owned construction business headquartered in Greater Manchester and delivering contracts across the UK.
About the Role
It is a real hybrid role - we are looking for someone with really strong contractual and commercial expertise (mainly JCT & NEC), but equally comfortable on site and working with the office-based Commercial Director. You're likely to be RICS, but you could equally be CIOB with a real contractual / commercial focus.
What You’ll Do
- Be a key member of the Company's Board advising on all projects and related commercial matters
- Be the key lead Director co-ordinating estimating, production, commercial and client relationships
- Lead contract negotiations and ensure compliance with legal and commercial frameworks
- Oversee project delivery from tender to final account, ensuring operational and financial targets are agreed, understood and met
- Collaborate with Board Directors, Contracts Managers, Project Managers, and the Commercial and Estimating teams to drive performance
- Champion health & safety, ensuring compliance and continuous improvement
- Maintain existing and build strong client relationships with new, potential clients
- Work closely with the Managing Director to develop commercial and business strategy
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.
