Climate17 is delighted to be partnering with a growing engineering consultancy specialising in heat networks, building services, and low-carbon energy to recruit a Contracts Manager.

This is an excellent opportunity to lead the delivery of heat network refurbishment and decarbonisation projects across the UK, working closely with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams from project inception through to completion.

The Role

You'll manage multiple projects simultaneously, taking responsibility for programme delivery, contractor management, commercial performance, and stakeholder engagement whilst ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

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.
