Construction Manager
Cappagh is looking for an experienced Construction Manager to join a Thames Water framework project based in Erith.
This Construction Manager position will take responsibility for the day-to-day delivery of civil engineering and water infrastructure works, ensuring site activities are completed safely, efficiently and in line with programme, quality and client requirements.
The ideal Construction Manager will come from a strong civils background and have previous experience delivering water infrastructure projects. Clean-water experience would be highly desirable, although candidates with strong water-treatment or utilities experience will also be considered.
What the Construction Manager Will Be Responsible For
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.
