The Team
Join a Global Leader in Data Centre Engineering
Are you ready to shape the future of mission-critical infrastructure?
At Cundall, we don’t just design buildings, we design change. As a multi-award-winning global consultancy, named UK Building’s Engineering Consultant of the Year in 2024, 2022, and 2021, we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovative, sustainable design.
Our dedicated Data Centre team is leading the way in making these essential buildings more energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective. Working exclusively in this field, we combine deep technical expertise with a forward-thinking approach, influencing global standards and pioneering bespoke solutions.
Sustainability is the heartbeat of everything we do. Our ambitious Zero Carbon Design 2030 goal means we’re committed to working only on projects that meet our zero carbon criteria by the end of this decade. If you’re passionate about decarbonising the built environment and want to make a real impact, we want to hear from you.
The Role
This is your chance to play a key role in delivering high-profile data centre projects across Australia and overseas. Supporting our Senior Design Manager, you’ll be at the heart of the design process; coordinating teams, tracking progress, and ensuring seamless delivery.
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.
