Cost Engineer / Cost Manager – Permanent Opportunities

I’m currently looking to speak with experienced Cost Engineers, Cost Managers and Senior Cost Managers interested in permanent opportunities across major infrastructure, energy and capital projects.

We’re supporting a number of organisations looking to strengthen their project controls and cost management teams, with opportunities available across different levels of seniority.

Typical Responsibilities

  • Cost control, forecasting and budgeting across the project lifecycle
  • Producing and maintaining project cost reports
  • Managing actuals, accruals, commitments and Value of Work Done (VOWD)
  • Monitoring project performance and identifying cost variances
  • Supporting monthly reporting and cost review meetings
  • Working closely with Project Managers, Commercial, Procurement and Engineering teams
  • Supporting estimating and forecast updates
  • Providing clear cost analysis and insight to project stakeholders
  • Managing cost information across complex, high-value projects

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.
