An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Project Manager to join an established engineering and manufacturing organisation in Port Glasgow.

Following a period of significant change, the business is entering an important new phase, with investment in its operations and a varied portfolio of projects including shipbuilding, steel manufacturing, site capital investment and transformation programmes.

This isn't a role where you will manage project plans from the sidelines. You will be responsible for bringing people together, keeping projects moving and keep projects moving, working across Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, Commercial and other functions.

You will take projects from planning through to delivery, building project plans, managing milestones, monitoring progress and tackling issues before they become problems.

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.
