A Superb Opportunity to Join a Global Leader in Industrial Automation
We're on the lookout for an Application Engineer to cover Scotland. It's a fully remote role, splitting your time between working from home and visiting customers across the region.
What Does an Application Engineer Do?
You are the technical expert who speaks the customer's language, ultimately helping the sales team identify opportunities to implement automation solutions. You'll be the person behind the design of automation solutions, presenting it to the customer, and helping them bring it to life.
- You'll be sitting at the forefront of technology, utilising the latest and greatest technologies to ensure their production is future-proof.
- You'll also be the technical point of contact for the local partners (distributors, integrators, etc.) where they need an in-person presence.
- The product portfolio is extremely broad, covering both products and systems, including everything from sensors, robotics, PLCs, drives, and many others.
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.
