Contract Structural Design Engineer
A small Civil/Structural Engineer consultancy in South London requires a Structural Design Engineer for a long-term contract assignment.
Our client works on the design of various residential and commercial buildings projects across London.
The role will involve hands-on structural design, report writing, and drafting. You will be given the responsibility of running your own projects under the guidance of the company Director. As you will be given the lead role on projects, you will get exposure in this role to aspects of engineering you would not get within a larger practice, allowing for quick career development.
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.
