About the Role

Our client is a small specialist niche Engineering design and build contractor who deliver projects for both municipal and industrial clean water, and wastewater treatment. They specialise in the Mechanical & Electrical products and services for water clients throughout the UK, offering their own technology solutions. Due to continuous growth and project awards, they are looking to recruit a Design Manager.

The Design Manager is the key driving force for the design phase of the project, leading and taking responsibility for the successful design delivery of various wastewater projects by undertaking and coordinating design activities across Mechanical, Electrical and Process disciplines.

Our client will consider someone already operating at this level or a Senior/Lead Engineer with management experience who is looking for a development opportunity. This role will combine both design engineering and project management/coordination.

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.
