About The Role

A Senior Project Manager is required in Devon to lead a major construction scheme in Plymouth for a prominent UK contractor. This permanent, full-time position offers a salary between £70,000 and £76,000, supplemented by a car allowance and further perks. The role demands an established professional with a track record of delivering large, complex projects, not someone seeking a first management post. You will take full ownership, directing operational, commercial, and design functions while acting as the principal client liaison. Your remit includes driving progress, coordinating teams, and ensuring successful project outcomes. This is a senior appointment for a candidate ready to assume significant 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.

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.

I’m working with a leading UK main contractor who is looking to appoint a Senior Project Manager to play a key role in the delivery of a significant project in Plymouth.

This isn't a role for someone looking to make their first move into project management. We're looking for an established SPM who has successfully delivered large, complex construction projects and is comfortable taking ownership, leading teams and being the senior point of contact with the client.

The Role

You'll be responsible for driving the project forward, bringing together the operational, commercial, and design teams and ensuring the job delivers against programme, quality, and commercial expectations.

You'll be someone who enjoys being at the heart of a project — leading people, solving problems, making decisions, and building a strong relationship with the client.

  • The ability to lead and motivate multidisciplinary project teams
  • A collaborative, solutions-focused approach

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to join an established contractor with a strong South West presence and pipeline, while taking a senior role on a significant Plymouth project.

You'll receive an excellent salary, car/car allowance, and comprehensive benefits package, alongside genuine longer-term opportunities within the business.
