PCR Digital is supporting a leading UK technology and communications organisation as they continue a major infrastructure transformation programme.
We're looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Engineer to join a highly skilled engineering team building a brand-new internal hosting platform based on Red Hat OpenShift. This is an opportunity to play a key role in modernising enterprise infrastructure rather than simply maintaining existing environments.
You'll work alongside architects, platform engineers and delivery teams to help design, build and scale a next-generation private cloud platform supporting critical business services.
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.
