NEC4 Project Manager (Industrial Automation / Energy Sector)

£65,000 - £70,000 + 7K Car Allowance + 10% Bonus + Progression + Autonomy + Varied Work + Flexibility

Warrington, Cheshire

Are you an NEC4 Project Manager with an understanding of Industrial Automation within the Energy Generation or Transmission industry, looking to join a global company where you will oversee projects from cradle to grave, having a huge impact and being recognised for your achievements?

Do you want a highly autonomous role where you'll be instrumental in the success of multi-million pound, national scale projects?

Your role will involve managing upgrade projects for the UK Gas transmission network. The main responsibilities will be overseeing the NEC contract and liaising between departments. This will involve reading, reviewing and creating contractual documentation, making sure deliverables are met and general assistance to the engineering, construction and project teams.

This company employs over 15,000 employees globally and are market leaders in the design, installation and service of advanced industrial automation technology. They are currently striving towards achieving net zero and have sustainability at the heart of their business. They pride themselves on delivering the most reliable distributed control systems on the planet and have recently been awarded multiple, national scale contracts.

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.
