Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Job Purpose:
Harlow has over 9,000 units of social housing and is embarking on its largest capital investment programme ever. We are delivering large scale refurbishment programmes to occupied council homes, and we are looking for experienced project managers who can help deliver this work.
The Role:
The projects that we are delivering are mostly building envelope works to low rise blocks, that have already been tendered and packaged and that are due on site early in the new year.
We have a separate commercial team that will provide commercial support. The contractors used have been specifically tendered and are not partnering contractors.
The experience you will bring:
- Experienced construction project manager – NB we do not want people who have only delivered new build construction or people who have never worked in the public sector
- We are looking for people who have experience of delivering works to occupied residential units for either local authorities or housing associations
- Well-developed people skills, able to communicate well with a variety of stakeholders
- Experience of working with the JCT form of contract
- Good technical knowledge of construction management
