SolvTalent is retained by a leading UK multi-site operator undergoing significant investment and transformation across its national property estate.

We are looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager to join an established Property team and deliver a varied programme of construction, refurbishment and estate improvement projects across the UK.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing construction and refurbishment projects from inception to completion
  • Developing project briefs, programmes, budgets, risk registers and delivery plans
  • Coordinating feasibility, design, procurement, construction, handover and close-out
  • Managing project costs, forecasts, purchase orders and financial reporting
  • Leading project meetings, site reviews and progress updates
  • Managing contractors, consultants, suppliers and internal stakeholders
  • Ensuring compliance with CDM 2015, Building Regulations and relevant H&S requirements
  • Planning works effectively to minimise disruption across live operational sites
  • Managing multiple projects simultaneously across a geographically diverse estate

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.
