Senior Site Manager
I’ve been tasked to find a Senior Site Manager for a reputable main contractor on a freelance basis. It is an immediate start and will finish in March 2028.
The project is a new build school worth circa £80m, including a new car park. It consists of building a primary school, secondary school and sports hall. You will build the secondary school which consists of a three storey steel frame structure and brick facade. Moving into the fit out and finishes.
You’ll be reporting to an on site Senior Project Manager and work in alongside another permanently employed Senior Site Manager who is building the primary school and sports hall.
Requirements for Senior Site Manager
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.
