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.

About The Role

As an Asset Engineer, you will provide comprehensive asset management and engineering support across a diverse portfolio of building services and systems assets. You will play a key role in determining engineering requirements, developing renewal and enhancement strategies, and ensuring our building services assets continue to deliver a safe, reliable and efficient railway for passengers and freight users.

Working closely with maintenance teams, project delivery teams and key stakeholders, you will use asset performance data, condition information and engineering expertise to identify and prioritise interventions that maximise asset reliability, compliance and value for money.

What does the average day look like?

As an Asset Engineer (Building Services & Systems), no two days are the same. You could be analysing asset performance data, carrying out site inspections, developing renewal strategies, supporting major projects, investigating technical issues, or collaborating with colleagues across maintenance, operations and project delivery. You'll play a vital role in ensuring our building services and systems assets remain safe, reliable and fit for the future, helping to deliver a world-class railway for our passengers and freight customers.

A Little Bit About The Team...

You'll be joining the Asset Management team, a specialist engineering team responsible for ensuring the safety, reliability and performance of a wide range of building services and systems assets, such as lifts and escalators, ventilation, and fire protection, across the high speed route. These assets form a critical part of the railway infrastructure and support the operation of stations, depots and operational buildings.
