Freelance Planner / Planning Manager โ€“ Nuclear

๐Ÿ“ Glasgow / Helensburgh / Hybrid
๐Ÿ“‹ Freelance / Contract
๐Ÿ” SC Clearance Required / UK Citizenship

Iโ€™m currently recruiting for Freelance Planners and Planning Managers to support major projects within the nuclear sector.

These are contract opportunities for experienced planning professionals with backgrounds across construction, infrastructure, engineering or major projects.

The Opportunity

Depending on level, youโ€™ll be responsible for:

  • Developing and maintaining project programmes.
  • Managing baseline programmes and programme updates.
  • Progress monitoring and reporting.
  • Critical path analysis.
  • Programme forecasting and risk management.
  • Identifying delays and developing mitigation/recovery plans.
  • Supporting change management and programme controls.
  • Working closely with project, commercial, engineering and delivery teams.
  • Engaging with contractors and wider project stakeholders.

Reasons to use Rodeo

Iโ€™m in my final year doing Economics and I donโ€™t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer โ€” it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโ€™t need a masters. Letโ€™s look at the ones youโ€™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 โ€” that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
