A leading civil engineering and infrastructure contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager, or an ambitious Site Manager looking to take the next step in their career, to join a growing specialist delivery team working across water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

Make your application after reading the following skill and qualification requirements for this position.

This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of multiple projects from concept through to completion, working within a well-established business delivering essential infrastructure improvements across the region.

The Role

You will coordinate operational teams, subcontractors, designers and clients, ensuring projects are delivered on programme, within budget and to the highest standards of quality and safety.

Key Responsibilities Will Include

  • Producing and reviewing project documentation including RAMS, CPPs and other construction management plans.
  • Managing project costs, forecasting and reporting performance.
  • Coordinating site teams, subcontractors and suppliers.
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and key stakeholders.
  • Identifying project risks and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
  • Ensuring compliance with CDM regulations, company procedures and health & safety legislation.
  • Providing regular progress, programme and commercial updates to senior management.

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.
