Technical Manager.

Residential & Mixed-Use Development.

Nottingham.

Cognisant is working with a privately owned SME developer looking to appoint a Technical Manager. The business is active across strategic land, residential and mixed-use development, with several large and complex sites progressing through planning and delivery. They are looking for someone with a strong technical background who can take ownership of schemes from the early stages and work across planning, design, infrastructure and delivery.

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.
