We're recruiting on behalf of an established and growing residential developer seeking a driven Contracts Manager to oversee multiple housing developments across West Wales, covering the region from Carmarthen to Haverfordwest.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality new homes and a commitment to excellence in construction, customer satisfaction, and employee development.

The Role

As Contracts Manager, you'll be responsible for the successful delivery of several live residential developments, ensuring projects are completed safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

You'll provide leadership and support to Site Managers, working closely with the Construction Director and wider technical, commercial, and customer care teams to ensure every development achieves its targets.

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.
