Ready to step up and take greater ownership within a respected Birmingham consultancy? This Civil Engineer opportunity offers progression, responsibility and a clear route toward leading design packages.

A well-established civil and structural design practice is seeking a Civil Engineer to support residential and commercial development schemes across the Midlands. Reporting directly to a Director, this Civil Engineer role provides real exposure to design delivery and statutory approvals.

As a Civil Engineer, you will take ownership of drainage and infrastructure design while working closely with senior colleagues to deliver technically robust solutions.

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.
