Description

As a Site Manager, you will be responsible for the resources associated with delivering a wide range of Infrastructure Projects and Capital Works, on the existing waste water network across the North West, for our client United Utilities.

You will plan, manage, and supervise operational teams and supply chain partners, as they carry out schemes and provide operational leadership ensuring that the work is delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to our clients' expectations. In addition to Health and Safety, customer service is critical to the client.

Satisfaction of customers is measured through a new regulatory measure called C-MeX. You will work closely with the client to influence the C-MeX measure and show leadership skills to genuinely care about the ratings customers give of Network Plus Non-Core services. You will be expected to communicate with customers who are impacted by our work, as and when required.

You will work with the design, delivery, and commercial teams, to ensure our Non-Core programme of work is delivered safely, to the right quality, on programme, and to the client's budget.

Key Responsibilities

  • Operational supervisory responsibility for waste water projects on the Non-Core Programme and the daily activities that take place on site.
  • Site-based, regularly visiting teams at local site level reviewing progress and performance and ensuring all standards are adhered to at all times.
  • Organise all resources for our schemes, including plant, labour, materials, and sub-contractors, in the most cost-effective way.
  • Manage compliance to our Health and Safety procedures on site e.g. weekly checks, inspections, team briefings, audits, and work with the teams as required to develop them and support them in reaching their full potential.
  • Weekly reporting of the sites to our management team and the client on weekly meetings and calls to update the team on progress, planning, and issues.
  • Be a Health & Safety Representative; undertaking health & safety inspections in and around the workplace, raising health and safety related matters with management, and investigating reportable accidents or incidents if and when they occur.

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.
