Gleeds
Gleeds is a leading global property and construction consultancy. Independent since 1875, we are proud to deliver award-winning projects around the world. We are a Great Place to Work certified employer, with our people at the heart of everything we do.
Climate Change and Sustainability
Climate change and Sustainability is at the top of our agenda; we have been established within the energy sector for the past 40 years and have achieved significant growth in the past years as we contribute to a sector that will have trillions of pounds of investment over the next decade. Our teams are at the forefront of the change, managing life-changing projects in Solar, Hydrogen, Nuclear, Renewables, and Defence, and we want you to be part of that too.
As the energy team continues to grow, we are looking to recruit motivated Planners to join us and play a critical part in the delivery of major, complex programmes in the nuclear sector.
Your Day Might Involve:
- Develop and maintain integrated project and programme schedules covering engineering, procurement, manufacture, construction, installation, commissioning, and handover.
- Establish the work breakdown structure, activity coding, logic, calendars, milestones, and schedule baselines in accordance with programme controls requirements.
- Maintain the integrated master schedule and ensure alignment between programme, project, contract, and discipline-level schedules.
- Identify and monitor critical path activities, near-critical paths, key interfaces, access constraints, and schedule-driving deliverables.
- Track progress against baseline, including physical progress, earned value, forecast dates, productivity, and schedule performance.
- Promote consistent planning standards, lessons learned, schedule assurance, and continuous improvement across the programme.
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.
