Project Manager – Nuneaton - £60,000

Some project management roles are about maintaining a plan.

They’re looking for a Project Manager who understands how to deliver complex engineering programmes - working directly with mechanical, electronics, software and systems engineers while managing demanding MOD stakeholders.
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.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of projects from requirements through development, testing and delivery. That means keeping engineering teams, customers, suppliers and stakeholders aligned while making sure programmes move forward at pace. You’ll be close to the technology and the people building it - not managing projects from a spreadsheet three layers removed from engineering. As a small business its lacking formal processes you’d find in an OEM, but that should be where you thrive… going to someone’s desk, having discussions and getting things moving in real time over endless meetings.

- Direct MOD Experience You’ve worked directly with the UK Ministry of Defence, understand the customer environment and are comfortable managing MOD stakeholders and expectations.
