About the Role

We are currently working with a large facilities management company to find them an experienced Mechanical Project Manager to lead the delivery of a significant mechanical package within a prestigious financial institution based in Central London.

Working within a live, occupied, business-critical environment, you will take responsibility for the successful delivery of mechanical building services works, ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality, and operational continuity throughout the project lifecycle.

This would be a contract role starting ASAP and go on for 9-12 months. The company has a huge pipeline of work, meaning if you're successful in this role, there's a strong chance you will be brought onto the next project as well.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Managing the mechanical works from pre-construction through to commissioning and handover.
  • Coordinating subcontractors, consultants, client representatives and internal project teams.
  • Ensuring all works are delivered safely within a live critical environment.
  • Developing and maintaining project programmes and resource plans.
  • Managing project budgets, variations and commercial performance.
  • Overseeing commissioning activities and ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
  • Ensuring compliance with all health & safety, quality and regulatory requirements.
  • Building strong relationships with client stakeholders and facilities management teams.
  • Identifying and mitigating project risks whilst maintaining programme milestones.

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.
