About The Role
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of major high-rise residential refurbishment, building safety and capital investment projects. The role will be responsible for managing projects from inception through to completion, ensuring that all works are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.
You will lead multidisciplinary project teams, managing consultants, contractors and stakeholders while ensuring compliance with Building Safety requirements, CDM Regulations and all relevant legislative obligations. The successful candidate will oversee programme delivery, risk management, contract administration, budget control and resident engagement, ensuring that projects achieve positive outcomes for both residents and the organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated professional with strong technical knowledge, excellent leadership skills and a proven track record of successfully delivering complex, high-value construction projects within occupied residential environments.
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.
