About the Role
Hargreaves Contracting is currently in an exciting period of growth and expansion, and we are looking for an experienced and ambitious Project Manager to join our team.
This is a site-based position responsible for the successful delivery of a £4.5 million new-build school project in Bolton.
The successful candidate will take overall responsibility for the project from commencement through to completion, ensuring it is delivered safely, efficiently, on programme and to the high standards expected by Hargreaves Contracting and our clients.
As the project will be delivered within a live education environment, the role will also require regular day-to-day liaison with the school and wider project stakeholders. Strong communication, organisation and relationship-management skills will therefore be essential.
Key Responsibilities
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.
