Project Manager

This Project Manager role offers the opportunity to lead the delivery of complex engineering programmes developing next-generation RF and microwave technology used in mission-critical applications. Working across R&D, engineering and manufacturing teams, you’ll take ownership of projects from concept through to production, ensuring delivery remains aligned to technical, commercial and customer objectives.

The role operates on a hybrid basis, and due to the nature of the work, candidates must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC).

Our client is an established technology company developing advanced RF, microwave and mmWave solutions for demanding applications across communications, aerospace and defence. As programmes continue to grow in complexity, they’re looking for a Project Manager who can confidently work alongside highly technical engineering teams and understand the realities of developing sophisticated hardware products.

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.
