If you're a Project Controls Manager working on major capital programmes and looking for a role with real scope, a strong team around you, and a business that genuinely values what you do — read on.
I'm working on multiple Project Controls Manager appointments nationally for a leading capital delivery organisation operating across some of the UK's largest and most complex programmes in defence, rail, aviation, infrastructure, and water.
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.
