About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager within Design & Construction to lead the planning, management and delivery of major enabling, infrastructure, design and construction activities associated with the redevelopment of Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn and the James Paget Hospital Great Yarmouth as part of the Norfolk and Waveney University Hospitals Group New Hospital Programme.
The New Hospital Programme represents a transformational investment in healthcare infrastructure across Norfolk and Waveney, delivering new hospital facilities that will support the future delivery of safe, sustainable and modern healthcare services. Whilst this role will primarily support one site scheme, the postholder will work as part of the wider programme team, contributing to the successful delivery of programme objectives and supporting the development of consistent approaches, standards and ways of working across the wider programme.
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.
