£50,000 - £54,000 + Healthcare + Pension + Company Benefits + Career Progression + Varied Projects + Immediate Start
Are you an experienced Design Engineer looking for a role where you'll have real ownership of projects rather than sitting behind a CAD screen all day? Join a specialist engineering company supplying bespoke machinery into the pharmaceutical industry, where you'll become a key member of a close-knit team and play a hands-on role across design, project engineering, and project management.
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.
