Technical Manager - Residential Development
South London | £85,000 - £95,000
I'm currently recruiting for a Technical Manager to join a residential developer on a major scheme in South London.
The project is a large-scale RC frame development of around 500 residential units across multiple blocks. The scheme is currently at Stage 3 design, so this is a great opportunity for someone to come in at an early stage, take ownership of the technical side of the project and see it through to delivery.
You'll be joining at an important point in the development, with responsibility for taking the scheme through the Gateway process, developing the technical strategy, building out the project team and ultimately overseeing the technical delivery of the site.
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.
