Civil Structural Design Engineer (TPW)
Manchester (Hybrid)
Contract | Outside IR35
Duration: 6-12 months
I'm currently recruiting for an experienced Civil / Structural Design Engineer to join the Civil Design team supporting major Grid Access Substation and HVDC Converter Station projects.
You will be responsible for leading design packages from concept through to completion, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, reviewing technical solutions, and ensuring successful project delivery on time and within budget.
This role will suit a technically strong engineer with experience across both civil and structural design, design coordination, and multidisciplinary infrastructure projects within sectors such as power transmission, energy, water, petrochemical, or similar.
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.
