Project Manager – Civil Engineering South West | Permanent
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.

About you
We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager who has worked for a main contractor within civil engineering or infrastructure.
You’ll need a strong track record of managing projects and site teams, good commercial awareness, and the ability to manage clients and stakeholders confidently.
Experience across utilities, heavy civils, or water-related projects would be useful, but I’m happy to speak with Project Managers from a broader civil engineering background.
