A well-established main contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Construction Project Manager to lead the delivery of a major new-build development in Newtown.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing business with a strong pipeline of work across the public sector, delivering complex Design & Build projects from pre-construction through to completion.

The Role

You will take ownership of a large-scale new-build scheme, working closely with clients, consultants, design teams, and the site delivery teams.

A key aspect of this role is involvement during the pre-construction phase, contributing to programme development, procurement strategy, risk management, and stakeholder engagement before works commence on site.

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.
