Senior Project Controls Engineer
London | Hybrid | Permanent | Major Infrastructure
Ready for a Project Controls role with bigger projects, greater exposure, and a clear route to progress?
We’re growing a Project Controls team in London and looking for experienced professionals who want to play a key role in the delivery of some of the UK’s most complex and nationally significant programmes.
This isn’t about sitting on the sidelines producing reports.
You’ll be embedded within major projects, working alongside project teams and clients to understand performance, challenge where needed and provide the controls and insight that keep complex programmes moving forward.
Where could you add value?
Depending on your background and strengths, you could be working across:
- Planning & Scheduling
- Cost & Forecasting
- EVM
- Risk
- Change
- Performance & Reporting
- Governance
You don’t necessarily need to be an expert across every area.
We’re interested in speaking with people who have developed a strong foundation within Project Controls and are ready to deepen their expertise, broaden their experience and take on more responsibility.
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.
