About the Role

Level: 3

Department: Security and Property

Location: Southampton, United Kingdom

Contract Type: Permanent

Regulated/Non-Regulated: Non-Regulated

The Workplace Project Manager will play a key role in the successful delivery of Security & Property projects across Quilter, taking ownership of small to medium-sized projects and ensuring they are delivered safely, effectively and in line with agreed scope, budget, timelines, governance standards and stakeholder expectations. The role will also act as the internal Quilter lead and key point of contact for larger property, refurbishment and relocation projects where external project managers, cost consultants or specialist partners are appointed, ensuring internal requirements are clearly understood, decisions are progressed, risks are managed and outcomes remain aligned to business priorities.


Key Responsibilities:

Project Delivery & Management

  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of small to medium-sized projects, including workspace improvements, facilities management changes, refurbishments, compliance activity and business-led property initiatives.
  • Develop and manage project plans (scope, timelines, dependencies, deliverables).
  • Ensure adherence to governance, approvals and controls.
  • Coordinate resources and prioritise across competing demands.
  • Track performance against plan, proactively managing variances.

Programme Support (Larger Initiatives)

  • Act as the internal Quilter contact for larger projects where an external project manager, cost consultant, contractor or specialist supplier is appointed, including major refurbishments, relocations and other property-led initiatives.
  • Coordinate internal stakeholders, governance inputs, business requirements, approvals and reporting to ensure externally managed projects remain aligned to Quilter priorities and decision-making timelines.
  • Provide assurance on progress, risks and dependencies into programme forums and/or via your line 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.
