Location: Aldermaston & Reading – 60% onsite

Contract: 18 months

IR35: Inside IR35

Rate: £63.57 per hour Umbrella

Security Clearance: DV or eligible for DV


We are currently recruiting for an experienced Project Manager to join a major organisation delivering complex infrastructure and security-focused projects.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Project Manager with a strong background in NEC contracts, construction, engineering, and supply-chain management, who is comfortable operating within a highly complex and security-conscious environment.

You will take ownership of project delivery, working closely with internal stakeholders, contractors, and the wider supply chain to manage schedule, cost, risk, and delivery performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery of complex projects from planning through to completion.
  • Manage NEC contracts and associated commercial requirements.
  • Engage closely with contractors and the supply chain.
  • Drive project schedule, cost, risk, and performance.
  • Manage project complexity and resolve delivery issues.
  • Oversee activities through the construction phase.
  • Work collaboratively with engineering, security, and operational stakeholders.
  • Ensure project delivery remains aligned with programme, cost, and quality requirements.
  • Identify and mitigate project risks.
  • Maintain strong governance, reporting, and stakeholder communication.
  • Quickly understand new requirements and take ownership of project delivery.

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.
