Graduate Project Manager
Nottingham
Salary up to £28,000 + Excellent Benefits
Looking to start your career with a consultancy that will genuinely invest in your future?
We're partnering with an ambitious and growing construction consultancy that's making a real impact across the UK. Rather than treating graduates as an extra pair of hands, they're committed to developing the next generation of project managers, providing hands-on experience, structured mentoring, and a clear route to professional chartership.
Based in their Nottingham office, you'll become part of a collaborative team delivering a broad range of construction and infrastructure projects across sectors including healthcare, education, commercial, regeneration, residential, and the public sector. It's an opportunity to gain exposure to every stage of the project lifecycle while working alongside experienced professionals who are passionate about helping graduates succeed.
From your first day, you'll be involved in live projects, building practical experience, developing client-facing skills, and learning what it takes to deliver successful projects from concept through to completion.
The Opportunity
As a Graduate Project Manager, you'll support senior members of the team while developing the technical, commercial, and communication skills needed to become a successful consultant.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with the delivery of construction and infrastructure projects from inception through to completion.
- Supporting Project Managers with programme management, budgets, project reporting, and risk management.
- Attending client meetings, design workshops, and site visits.
- Coordinating with architects, engineers, contractors, and other project stakeholders.
- Monitoring project progress and maintaining key project documentation.
- Assisting with procurement and contract administration activities.
- Learning how to manage project change, programme, and quality.
- Supporting the delivery of projects in line with health & safety legislation and industry best practice.
- Building strong relationships with clients and the wider project team.
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.
