Are you an Electrical Design Engineer from a Power Transmission / P&C background looking for an exciting, technical role working on a dynamic range of National Grid projects within a tight-knit company undergoing a period of rapid growth offering the chance to continually upskill yourself and become a leader in the business?

In this role, you will be part of a team working on specialist protection & control projects. Your day-to-day work will primarily involve design work of schematics, cable blocks, and diagrams in addition to preparing bills of materials and design intent documents. You will be part of a tight-knit team in addition to liaising closely with other departments and clients as you work primarily in the office, with some client visitation and occasional WFH.
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.
