Project Manager – Global Planning & Scheduling Transformation
12-Month Contract | £500 per day | Outside IR35 | Hybrid – London
We are supporting a specialist consultancy delivering a significant transformation programme for a major global organisation.
We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead a complex Planning & Scheduling transformation, focused on changing how a global workforce is planned, allocated and deployed to customer assignments.
This is much more than a scheduling system implementation. The programme sits across process, data, technology, resource optimisation and operating model transformation, with multiple global stakeholder groups and complex business rules.
The Programme
The organisation operates a highly skilled international workforce, with resources deployed to customer assignments across multiple countries and locations.
Planning and scheduling must take account of multiple variables, including:
- Resource availability and capacity
- Skills and technical competencies
- Qualifications and certifications
- Geography and location
- Safety accreditations
- Customer and assignment requirements
- Operational constraints
- Workload and demand forecasting
The programme is looking at how this can be simplified, standardised and increasingly automated, supported by better processes, trusted data and technology.
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.
The Role
As Project Manager, you will take ownership of the workstream and coordinate delivery across business, operational, data and technology teams.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Own the end-to-end project plan, milestones and critical path
- Lead the Planning & Scheduling transformation through discovery, design and implementation
- Establish strong governance, reporting and delivery cadence
- Coordinate SMEs and stakeholders across multiple functions and geographies
- Drive discovery, requirements and data-gathering activity
- Manage risks, issues, assumptions and dependencies
- Understand dependencies with wider transformation initiatives
- Drive decisions and maintain momentum where information may be incomplete
- Ensure clear accountability across workstreams and stakeholders
- Provide concise, transparent reporting to senior leadership and SteerCo
- Support testing, implementation and business readiness
- Use data to provide visibility of progress, risks and delivery outcomes
What We're Looking For
We are looking for a hands-on, delivery-focused Project Manager who can bring structure to a complex global transformation.
You should ideally demonstrate:
- Strong end-to-end Project Management experience
- Delivery of complex business and/or technology transformation

- Strong data-led delivery capability
- Experience of process and operating model transformation
- Excellent governance and RAID management
