Project Manager - Civils

Location: West Wales
Salary: £70,000-£80,000 plus package
Project value: Civils package: £30m

I am working with a leading Tier 1 contractor to recruit an experienced Civil Project Manager for a major £100m building development in West Wales.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for the delivery of a £30m civils package over a 126-week programme. This is a delivery-focused position covering everything outside the main buildings, including:

  • Major earthworks
  • RC frame foundations and substructures
  • New utility installations
  • Roads and associated infrastructure
  • Drainage and external works
  • Landscaping later in the programme

Reporting to the Project Director, you will manage a Checking Engineer, three Site Managers, and a Foreman.

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.
