Transport Consulting - Manager

About the Role

We are building one of the most innovative and transport-focused consulting capabilities in the market. Our work centres on helping public and private transport organisations design and deliver large-scale transformation, from rethinking operating models to modernising services, improving passenger outcomes, and enabling more efficient, resilient, and digitally-enabled transport systems.

The UK transport sector is undergoing once-in-a-generation change: rail reform and devolution, major capital investment, asset modernisation, digital signalling, intelligent mobility, automation, data-led decision-making, and workforce transformation. Our team supports clients across rail, bus, highways, aviation, and emerging mobility to navigate this complexity and deliver meaningful, lasting change.

We are a collaborative, diverse, and growing team with deep expertise in Transport and Government. As a Manager, you’ll:

  • Lead client engagements
  • Bring strong sector knowledge
  • Work with multidisciplinary teams to shape and deliver end-to-end transformation programmes that make a difference to passengers, freight operators, places, and the wider economy.

What Your Days Will Look Like

  • Managing the design and delivery of transport-focused, technology-enabled transformation programmes — such as:
    • Operating model redesign
    • Service improvement
    • Digital transformation
    • Programme mobilisation
    • Performance uplift
  • Developing insight into client needs across rail, bus, highways, aviation, or wider transport
  • Supporting the growth of our Transport Enterprise Transformation market
  • Helping evolve tools, methods, and assets specifically for transport transformation, drawing on best practice across:
    • Operating models
    • Change
    • Programme delivery
    • Digital adoption
  • Leading engagement economics, risk and issue management, and ensuring high-quality programme and project delivery
  • Building trusted relationships with senior transport stakeholders, and expanding your network across the industry

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.
