Project Manager
I am currently working with a strong Tier One Main Contractor, who have an opportunity for Project Manager, to oversee large new build school in Essex from planning to handover. This is a great opportunity to join a solid and stable company, with great opportunities of progression into SPM & PD type roles.
Our client is looking for someone with experience leading education projects of £50+ million from site set up to handover. This person should also have previous experience working with DfE.
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.
