The Role

As Project Manager, you will lead the delivery of a new engineering development programme, coordinating cross-functional teams and stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget and to specification. This role will see you working closely with Product Managers, Engineering teams and key decision makers to manage priorities, schedules and project risks throughout the development lifecycle.

  • Managing engineering development projects from concept through to product release.
  • Gathering and refining requirements from key stakeholders.
  • Defining project scope and prioritising development activities.
  • Producing and managing project plans, schedules and budgets.
  • Coordinating engineering teams across multiple sites and time zones.

  • Identifying and removing obstacles to keep projects on schedule.
  • Supporting continuous improvement across engineering planning and development processes.

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.
