The Opportunity
Walker & Sloan is recruiting a Senior Project Manager to join a main contractor on a project in Slough.

Role Overview
You’ll oversee delivery from planning and mobilisation through to completion and handover, maintaining control of programme, quality and site performance.
- Working with your project team, you’ll establish construction sequences, coordinate resources and monitor progress against key milestones.
- You’ll identify risks early, challenge delays and agree practical recovery measures where needed.
- You’ll work closely with design and commercial colleagues to ensure information, procurement and subcontract packages support the construction programme.
- You’ll also assess the delivery implications of changes, keeping the client and wider team informed.
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.
