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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What are the requirements?
- Degree, HND, HNC, or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- A minimum of three years' experience working with industrial electrical systems outside a training role (such as an apprenticeship), or at least two years' experience following completion of a graduate scheme.
