Project Manager
Are you the type of project manager who embraces complexity instead of avoiding it? Do you enjoy transforming a messy, ambitious idea into a tangible solution that genuinely impacts how people work and affects the environment?
About CIW
[CIW](https://www.ciw electromagnetic.com/) is the leading professional body dedicated to improving the management of water and the environment. We support over 10,000 members across the UK and internationally, championing sustainable solutions to some of society’s most pressing environmental challenges, including:
- Climate resilience
- Water security
- Flooding
- Pollution
- Transition to a more sustainable future
As a Royal Chartered body, we work with government, industry, academia, and communities to:
- Advance professional standards
- Influence policy
- Support environmental leadership
This role involves end-to-end project delivery, translating evidence and policy thinking into practical outputs such as guidance, training, toolkits, reports, and real-world usable products. No two projects are identical, and the pace is driven by the work—not by bureaucracy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Actually Be Doing
You’ll deliver projects from initiation to closure, covering key activities:
- Defining and managing scope, plans, budgets, and risks
- Aligning diverse stakeholders (internal and external) toward shared goals
- Collaborating with technical experts (consultants, advisory groups, funders, and colleagues)
- Establishing controls (plans, budget trackers, risk logs, engagement plans) to ensure delivery without stifling progress
- Leading governance through agendas, minutes, updates, and sign-offs
- Quality-assuring outputs by asking sharp questions and convening the right stakeholders at the right time
- Managing funder relationships, including reporting, claims, and audit trails
- Contributing to proposals and shaping new opportunities for growth

Who We Are Looking For
We seek candidates from varied backgrounds, including consultancy, charity/non-profit, policy/programme management, and professional services. Your experience and approach matter more than technical specialism.
Key Requirements
- Strong project management foundations:
- Scoping, planning, budgeting, risk/issue management
- Clear reporting and communications
- Confident, clear communication with both internal and external senior stakeholders
- Strong writing skills for stakeholder-facing deliverables
- Highly organised, able to juggle multiple priorities and prioritise work effectively
- Ability to engage with technical content, clarifying and translating it for different audiences
- Resilience under pressure—projects shift, funders change their minds, deadlines slip—and you’ll handle it without losing composure
