The Opportunity
Talentometry have partnered with a specialist, high-hazard system integrator who deliver robust, safety-critical control solutions. Backed by the scale and security of a major global engineering consultancy, they operate with the agility of a boutique firm but the firepower of an industry giant.
We are talking to mid-level EPLAN Design Engineers who are questioning their current trajectory. Are you stuck in a rigid corporate structure, waiting for someone to leave before you can step up? This role is designed specifically for a Project Engineer who wants to learn directly from a Senior EPLAN Engineer within a rapidly growing division that offers a clear, defined roadmap for your own progression.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be designing critical safety systems including fire suppression, gas detection, pumps, and valves. Projects are across highly regulated environments like the MoD, energy, and pharmaceuticals.
The business believes that the best engineering happens collaboratively. While the role is primarily based in their Manchester office to accelerate your learning and teamwork, they champion practical flexibility.
Forget strict 9-to-5s; whether you need to manage the school run or prefer to start early and finish early, you have the autonomy to shape your hours around your life.
You won’t just be stuck behind a screen, either. Whilst it is heavily office based you will take ownership of your designs by supporting site commissioning and be able to visit to support your development. When you do travel to site, you're paid door-to-door, with highly lucrative uplifts—including an extra £150 a day on top of your standard pay for international site work.
