Project Director – Manchester
£130,000 – £160,000 + Travel Allowance + Bonus + Pension + Holidays + Private Medical Insurance + Package + Technical Progression + Immediate Start Available
About the Role
This is not a role for someone looking for an easy project. This is a high-pressure, fast-track delivery environment where projects are delivered significantly faster than traditional contractors through overlapping trades, aggressive programmes, and full lifecycle control.
You will take full ownership of a large-scale industrial new build project across sectors such as data centres, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, operating as the number one on-site representative from early-stage design through to commissioning and handover.
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.
