Project Manager / Project Planner – Specialist Fabrication & Bespoke Structures
South East London
£50-65k dependant on experience
Initial 12 Month Fixed Term Contract – Strong Potential to Become Permanent
We are working with a highly regarded specialist contractor that designs, engineers and fabricates complex, bespoke structures for some exceptional projects across London and the UK. Their work ranges from architectural staircases and specialist metalwork through to public sculptures, pavilions and one-off bespoke structures, working alongside leading architects, designers, artists and main contractors.
They are looking for a Project Manager or Project Planner to join the business initially to provide maternity cover. The contract is expected to run for 12 months, however the intention is to retain the successful person on a permanent basis if workload allows.
The Role
You will help manage a varied portfolio of technically interesting projects from appointment through design, fabrication and installation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities will include:
- Managing project programmes, timelines and budgets
- Creating, updating and managing Gantt charts / project programmes
- Coordinating design, workshop, fabrication and installation teams
- Liaising with main contractors, clients, consultants and suppliers
- Monitoring progress against programme and identifying potential delays
- Managing change control, variations and scope changes
- Planning site logistics, deliveries, lifting and installation activities
- Reviewing drawings and understanding 3D design information
- Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and to the required quality
Requirements
You should have experience managing or planning construction projects and be comfortable working with programmes, Gantt charts, commercial budgets, variations and dealing with contractors & consultants. Experience with MS Project or similar programming software would be particularly useful. Knowledge of fabrication, construction logistics, JCT contracts, SolidWorks, Rhino or Grasshopper would be advantageous but is not essential.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys the technical and creative side of construction and wants to work on unusual, highly bespoke projects rather than repetitive mainstream schemes.
The role will be predominantly based at the company’s South East London workshop/facility, with travel to London projects as required.
