Ready to step into a role where your project management experience really makes a difference?
We're working with an established and forward-thinking engineering firm in Pontypridd, South Wales, who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Project Manager to join their growing team.
This is an opportunity to work on a genuinely interesting portfolio of engineering projects, with the Local Authority sector through the SEWF forming a key part of the business. If you've worked in this environment before, you'll understand that these projects have their own pace, processes, and challenges – and that experience could be a major advantage.
This isn't your typical main contracting environment. You'll be operating in a setting where understanding the client, navigating stakeholder requirements, and delivering projects effectively is just as important as keeping programmes and budgets on track.
The Role
As a Senior Project Manager, you'll take ownership of projects from inception through to completion, coordinating internal teams, consultants, contractors, and key stakeholders to ensure successful delivery.
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.
You'll be trusted to bring structure, energy, and leadership to your projects, while building strong relationships with clients and helping the business continue to grow.
You'll Be Involved In
- Leading and managing engineering projects from start to finish
- Managing programmes, budgets, risks, and resources
- Working closely with Local Authority clients and stakeholders
- Coordinating design teams, consultants, and delivery partners
- Managing project documentation, reporting, and governance
- Identifying and resolving issues before they become problems
- Supporting the continued development of the project delivery function
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who knows how to get things moving and, importantly, understands the nuances of delivering projects for public-sector clients.
Experience working with Local Authorities and/or through the SEWF would be highly desirable. You'll appreciate that success in this environment isn't simply about driving a programme at maximum speed – it's about understanding the process, managing stakeholders effectively, and delivering the right outcome for the client.

Why Join?
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Project Manager looking to move away from the conventional main contracting model and into an environment offering a different type of project challenge.
You'll have the opportunity to work closely with public-sector clients, influence project outcomes, and become a key part of a business with ambitious plans for growth.
Salary: up to GBP60,000, depending on experience.
If you're an experienced Senior Project Manager who understands Local Authority-led projects and wants your next move to offer something a little different, we'd love to hear from you.
