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.

What You'll Do
As an Assistant Civil Engineer, you will support the delivery of civil and structural engineering activities across major nuclear and infrastructure projects. Working alongside experienced engineers and multidisciplinary teams, you will assist with the design, assessment and documentation of civil and structural elements, including anchorage systems, supports, foundations and associated infrastructure. You will have the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge while gaining experience across the project lifecycle, from design and engineering calculations through to construction and site support. You will work to relevant design codes, project specifications and quality requirements, with guidance and supervision from senior engineers.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist with the design and assessment of civil and structural elements, including anchorage systems, fixings, baseplates, supports and foundations.
- Support senior engineers with structural calculations, design checks and technical assessments in accordance with Eurocodes, project specifications and relevant standards.
- Assist with assessments of structures and components under static, dynamic and seismic loading conditions, as required.
- Prepare and maintain engineering calculations, technical reports, drawings, specifications and design documentation under appropriate supervision.
- Assist with the review of engineering drawings and design information, identifying discrepancies and supporting the resolution of technical queries.
- Work closely with civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and other multidisciplinary teams to ensure designs are properly coordinated.
- Support senior engineers in assessing design changes and understanding their impact on engineering requirements and project delivery.
- Assist with responding to technical queries from clients, contractors and project teams, escalating complex issues to senior engineers where required.
- Support site inspections, surveys and construction activities, helping to verify that works are being completed in accordance with approved drawings and specifications.
- Ensure engineering work is completed in accordance with nuclear safety requirements, quality procedures, project standards and applicable legislation.
- Maintain accurate project records and contribute to the preparation of technical and project documentation.
- Develop technical knowledge and professional experience through mentoring, training and on-the-job learning.
