Project Manager - CHP / Power Generation - Home Based (remote) – UK Project travel

Currently delivering power generation, CHP, utilities or industrial energy projects and looking for a role where you’re trusted to run projects properly?

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to join one of the UK's leading specialists in distributed energy and power generation. This isn't a reporting role; it's a delivery role!

You'll take ownership of projects from start to finish, managing customers, suppliers, subcontractors, budgets, programmes and technical delivery whilst maintaining a clear focus on project performance and profitability. You'll need enough technical understanding to challenge contractors, talk credibly with engineers and spot problems before they become expensive.

You'll Probably Recognise Yourself If You Have Experience In:

  • CHP
  • Power Generation
  • Energy Infrastructure
  • Utilities
  • Process Plant
  • Industrial Construction
  • Heavy Engineering
  • Large M&E Projects

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.
