£40,000-£50,000 + Training + Company Benefits + International Travel + Flexitime

Location: Saffron Walden

Are you a Design Engineer or similar from any background? Are you looking for a role with training to upskill you and help you develop into a new industry, varied projects, site visits, and the opportunity to travel nationally and internationally with all expenses paid?

The company are open to candidates from a range of industries and will provide training on their specialist products, site visits, quality checks, and project delivery.

In this role you will support the design of bespoke solutions, produce and update drawings, and work closely with production and site teams to ensure products are manufactured in line with client requirements. You will receive training on customer site visits, carrying out quality checks, attending project meetings, and supporting installations, with typical projects involving 2-3 site visits and lasting anywhere from 3 months to 2 years.

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.
