Project Manager – Real Estate Development

With a strong focus on innovation, energy-efficient design and smart building technology, the business is delivering projects across London, the UK and Europe, offering an exciting opportunity to join at a key stage of its growth.
The Role
As Project Manager, you'll oversee the full development lifecycle, working closely with architects, consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered safely, on programme, within budget and to the highest quality.
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.
