Hiring: Assistant Design Manager, UK Grid Connections
Star Delta Power is hiring an Assistant Design Manager to join our growing design team, working alongside Ryan Smith MSc CEng, Director of Star Delta Power and currently Head of Design at TMS Grid, on a portfolio of UK grid connection projects.
The role is the operational backbone of how design gets delivered. Writing and chasing TQs, managing trackers and registers, reviewing drawings returned by external design houses, and making sure nothing stalls between client and design house. You'll be the person clients, owner's engineers, and external designers come to first, with the autonomy to close items in your own name and grow into running your own projects as you prove yourself.
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
