This position will focus on delivering data-driven insights, improving business processes, and supporting engineering teams through innovative reporting, automation, and digital solutions.
You'll play a key role in developing business intelligence tools, enhancing data quality, and improving the way engineering information is captured, managed, and reported. Working closely with colleagues across Engineering, Operations, Finance, Procurement, IT, and third-party suppliers, you'll help drive continuous improvement and support strategic business initiatives.

- Create and support Power Apps, Power Automate workflows, SharePoint sites, and Microsoft Lists to improve operational processes and reduce manual tasks.
- Assist with the ongoing development and optimisation of engineering systems, including FleetWave, Microsoft Dynamics 365, telematics platforms, maintenance databases, and other engineering applications.
- Produce analysis on fleet utilisation, maintenance performance, fuel efficiency, asset reliability, operating costs, and lifecycle trends to support informed decision-making.
- Identify opportunities to improve business processes through automation, data integration, and the adoption of digital technologies.
- Develop reporting and tracking tools that support engineering projects, capital investment programmes, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Maintain the integrity of engineering data by ensuring asset records, compliance documentation, and financial information are accurate and aligned with governance standards.
- Work collaboratively with internal departments and external suppliers to deliver effective digital solutions that support operational excellence.
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.
