Project Manager (Ethernet) — Reading | Hybrid (1 day per week) | Outside IR35 | 6-month contract

The opportunity

We're supporting a leading telecoms and fibre provider delivering a range of network expansion and infrastructure projects. They're looking for an experienced Project Manager to oversee fibre rollout, network delivery and complex technical change initiatives across multiple stakeholders.

The team has spent the last 12 months onboarding Layer 3 partners onto the network, with further partners still to onboard, and is now branching this work into Layer 2. This role will report into Kevin, Programme Delivery Manager, and will also provide support on CPE (Customer Premises Equipment).

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.
