Life on the Team
We are currently recruiting a Project Coordinator, where you'll be a vital part of our Projects & Programmes Practice. You'll work alongside experienced Project Managers to support the successful delivery of IT projects for a diverse customer base. Whether you're aligned to a dedicated customer account or working across multiple projects via our central PMO, you’ll gain exposure to the full project lifecycle and play a hands-on role in bringing customer outcomes to life.
This is a great opportunity to develop your project management career within a collaborative, fast-paced environment, while working with a wide range of teams across the business—including Consultancy, Engineering, and Service Management.
This role is based on site 5 days per week in Derby OR Preston and will require you to have Security Clearance (or the willingness to obtain).
What You’ll Do
- Support Project Delivery: Assist Project Managers in tracking project plans, deliverables, and milestones, using tools like Microsoft Project
- Coordinate Resources & Schedules: Book and manage internal/external resources, arrange meetings, and ensure timelines are met
- Maintain Project Documentation: Keep control logs, registers (risks, issues, changes), and governance reports up to date and stored correctly
- Assist with Financial Management: Help track budgets, support forecasting, and contribute to monthly financial reports (PFRs) using internal tools like PEAT
- Enable Change Management: Raise and track change requests, and help assess the impact on delivery timelines and scope
- Stakeholder Support: Liaise with internal teams and customer contacts, support governance meetings, and contribute to a positive team dynamic
- Grow Your Responsibilities: As you gain experience, you may manage small workstreams or take ownership of standalone tasks
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.
