We are working with an established construction contractor who are looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to take responsibility for the delivery of a major modular build scheme in Portsmouth.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager with a strong construction background who is looking to take ownership of a technically interesting project, working closely with the client, design team, supply chain and site-based teams to ensure the project is delivered safely, on programme and to the required quality standards.

The Role

As Project Manager, you will have overall responsibility for managing the project from pre-construction through to completion, with a particular focus on the coordination and delivery of the modular/off-site construction elements.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Taking overall responsibility for the successful delivery of the project.
  • Managing programme, costs, quality, health & safety and client expectations.
  • Coordinating modular manufacturing, logistics, deliveries and on-site installation.
  • Working closely with the design team to ensure designs are coordinated and buildable.
  • Managing subcontractors, suppliers and specialist modular contractors.
  • Monitoring progress against the construction programme and implementing recovery plans where required.
  • Leading regular progress meetings with the client, consultants and supply chain.
  • Managing commercial and contractual matters in conjunction with the commercial team.
  • Ensuring all works are delivered in accordance with relevant legislation, specifications and quality standards.
  • Identifying and managing project risks, opportunities and potential delays.
  • Leading and supporting the site management team.
  • Managing commissioning, handover and completion of the project.

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.
