Planning Manager / Lead – Energy & Decarbonisation Projects
Leeds | Permanent
I’m currently recruiting for an experienced Planning Manager / Lead Planner to join a major organisation delivering an expanding portfolio of decarbonisation, Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), M&E and energy infrastructure projects.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to use their planning and project controls expertise on projects directly supporting the UK's transition towards a lower-carbon and more sustainable built environment.
The role will take responsibility for developing, managing and controlling programmes across multiple concurrent projects – working closely with Project Managers, Design, Commercial, Procurement and Operational teams to drive successful delivery.
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.
