Project Manager – NEC4 | Major Infrastructure
Gloucester | Hybrid | UK-wide Projects | Permanent
ARCA Consulting is working with a leading infrastructure contractor to appoint an experienced Project Manager to deliver complex infrastructure projects across the UK.
The business is looking for a strong Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering projects safely, commercially and successfully within an NEC4 environment. The ideal background would be within HV Transmission & Distribution, power or energy, with experience working with DNOs and/or Transmission Owners (TOs).
However, the business is open to experienced Project Managers from other major infrastructure sectors, including rail, high-value civils, highways and utilities, where they have strong NEC4 and complex project delivery experience.
The Role
You’ll take responsibility for projects from mobilisation through to completion, with responsibility for:
- Programme, cost and commercial performance
- Risk, safety and quality
- Client and stakeholder relationships
- Project teams, subcontractors and supply chain
- Change control and contractual management
- Delivering projects safely, on programme and within budget
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.
