The Role
Day-to-day At Ekco
As a First Contact Resolution Engineer, you are a cut above the typical 1st Line Engineer. Working from our Milton Keynes HQ, you will be part of a blended team of experienced engineers (1st Line, FCR, 2nd Line). You will be encouraged to follow through on technical issues, as you look to grow your skills and learn more about the varied environments and technologies you will be supporting. You will receive training to support your growth, with a view to progression as you increase your knowledge and standing within the team.
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.
