Contract Cloud Data Engineers – Midlands | £650–£750 per day | 6 Months+
2 days per week onsite
We’re supporting a major UK organisation with the urgent hire of three experienced Cloud Data Engineers for an immediate project within a large-scale data and technology environment.
These are hands-on engineering roles suited to people who can take genuine ownership of solutions- not simply work within an established platform. You’ll be designing, building and supporting scalable data solutions while working closely with technical teams and business/front-office stakeholders.
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.
