Project Manager

Commercial, Residential & Healthcare Projects

South West
£40,000 - £50,000 + Benefits

Carriera is proud to be partnering with a well-established and growing construction consultancy to recruit a Project Manager for its South West team.

With an enviable portfolio of projects across the commercial, residential and healthcare sectors, this is an opportunity to join a business delivering schemes that genuinely shape communities and improve the built environment.

Working closely with a diverse range of public and private sector clients, you'll take ownership of projects from initial feasibility through to completion, managing multidisciplinary teams, driving successful outcomes, and building trusted client relationships along the way.

This role offers far more than traditional project delivery. You'll gain exposure to a broad range of sectors, work directly with key decision-makers and benefit from a clear progression route within a consultancy that continues to invest in its people and growth.

The Opportunity

As Project Manager, you'll play a central role in delivering a varied portfolio of construction projects across the South West.

Projects include commercial developments, residential schemes, healthcare environments and wider public sector projects, providing excellent exposure to different clients, project challenges and delivery methods.

You'll be entrusted with significant responsibility, working alongside experienced Directors and senior consultants whilst managing your own projects and developing your long-term career within the business.

Your Role

  • Lead projects from inception through to completion and handover.
  • Act as a key advisor to clients, providing strategic project and construction management support.
  • Manage project programmes, budgets, procurement strategies and delivery plans.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary consultant teams and contractor activities.
  • Drive project performance across cost, quality, risk and programme objectives.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, stakeholders and project teams.
  • Chair meetings and provide clear project reporting throughout all project stages.
  • Identify and manage project risks, opportunities and change control processes.
  • Support procurement exercises, contractor appointments and contract administration activities.
  • Contribute to client development initiatives and identify opportunities for repeat business.

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.
