Business Development Manager – Design & Project Focus
We’re working with a growing, forward-thinking engineering business looking to appoint a Specification Engineer to support project design and drive early-stage engagement across key construction and engineering accounts.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys influencing projects at concept stage and working closely with consultants, contractors, and designers.
The Role
You’ll play a key part in securing project specifications by engaging early with stakeholders and supporting the design process.
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.
