Operations Director – PFI & Public Sector

We’re supporting a leading facilities and infrastructure services organisation with the appointment of an Operations Director to lead a significant portfolio of complex public sector contracts.

This is a senior operational leadership role with responsibility for the performance, development and strategic direction of a multi-site portfolio, with a particular focus on PFI and long-term public sector partnerships.

We’re looking to speak with established operational leaders who have a strong understanding of the complexities of delivering services within PFI environments and can combine operational rigour with strong commercial and client leadership.

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.
