The Opportunity
We’re working with a leading consultancy looking to grow its Energy & Natural Resources team, with opportunities for Cost Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Commercial Managers at various levels across a range of major UK programmes.
The project pipeline covers nuclear, renewables, battery storage, transmission & distribution, carbon capture, sustainable aviation fuels and other low-carbon projects. There is also scope to work across wider infrastructure and defence programmes, depending on your experience and interests.
This could suit someone already working within Energy & Natural Resources, or someone with strong major infrastructure experience looking to move into the sector.
What You’ll Be Doing
The role will vary depending on your level, experience and the project you join, but will typically involve:
- Providing cost and commercial management support across major projects and programmes.
- Taking ownership of your work and the quality of commercial advice you provide.
- Applying strong analytical and problem-solving skills to project and commercial challenges.
- Planning and managing your workload effectively, identifying opportunities to improve outcomes and add value.
- Working collaboratively with clients, project teams and other stakeholders.
- Developing a strong understanding of client requirements and project objectives.
- Communicating clearly and dealing with commercial challenges constructively.
- Building credible relationships across multidisciplinary project teams.
- Continuing to develop your technical and commercial capability, while supporting and sharing knowledge with colleagues where appropriate.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What They’re Looking For
You’ll ideally have:
- A degree, HNC or equivalent relevant qualification.
- Cost management, quantity surveying or commercial management experience.
- Experience working with NEC3, NEC4 and/or FIDIC contracts.
- Experience across nuclear, renewables, transmission & distribution, oil & gas or low-carbon projects, or transferable major infrastructure experience across water, utilities, rail, highways or aviation.
- Experience working on major programmes or project portfolios.
- Professional chartership, or progress towards it, would be advantageous.
As there are opportunities at various levels, the exact responsibilities and expectations will reflect your experience.
Career Development
There’s a strong emphasis on professional development, with the opportunity to shape your progression around technical, client or business leadership depending on where you want your career to go.

For those working towards chartership, structured APC support is available, including access to counsellors and supervisors, wider Q&A support and formal mock assessments ahead of final assessment.
You’ll also be joining an established regional team across cost and commercial management, project controls and project management, giving you exposure to different disciplines and a varied portfolio of major programmes.
Why Consider It?
There’s a good mix of major, long-term programmes and variety of work here, so you’re not joining to spend the next few years doing the same thing on repeat. The portfolio spans nuclear, transmission & distribution, renewables, battery storage, carbon capture and other low-carbon projects.
Alongside the project exposure, there’s hybrid working, a competitive salary and a strong benefits package, as well as clear opportunities to develop professionally and progress within the business.
For someone looking to build a longer-term career in Energy & Natural Resources, there’s plenty of scope to broaden your sector experience, take on more responsibility and work on programmes that will shape the UK’s energy landscape for years to come.
