MERITUS are recruiting for two Data Engineers to join a leading Technology Consultancy, supporting secure data engineering across major UK Defence programmes.

DATA ENGINEER – 6 MONTH CONTRACT (INSIDE IR35) - UP TO £700/DAY – GREAT MALVERN (HYBRID) – 3 DAYS ON-SITE – SC CLEARANCE REQUIRED

We’re looking for two Data Engineers to join a Defence Consultancy based in Malvern.

The roles will suit engineers with strong Python, SQL and Databricks experience, working across modern cloud-based data environments. The platform is currently expected to be AWS, with a planned migration to Google Secure Cloud.

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.
