The Role

We are currently seeking a Civil / Drainage and Flood Risk Engineer to join my client, a firm of consulting engineers in their Somerset office.

You will join their team working on a good range of drainage and infrastructure schemes for really interesting and challenging projects including heritage sites, private estates, university campuses and more.

You will deal with:

  • Surface water and foul water drainage strategies
  • Flood risk assessments
  • Attenuation and infiltration systems
  • Technical SuDs designs
  • Drainage calculations to statutory bodies and water companies

You will have the opportunity of some hybrid working and you will be given support towards becoming chartered with MICE or CIWEM.

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.
