I am looking for a Commissioning Engineer to join an established international automation business supporting Data Centre projects in Newport, South Wales.

The opportunity

This is a hands-on commissioning position for an engineer who enjoys testing systems, investigating faults and getting controls ready for operation. You’ll work with the project team to commission data centre control systems, carry out point-to-point checks, support Level 2–4 testing and make PLC code changes where required.

Although the automation systems you'll work with will vary due to their vendor-neutral approach, their customers generally prefer Rockwell Automation and Ignition, so expertise in these would be desirable, although not required.

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.
