Job Description:

Your new role

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Electrical Engineer to join our Engineering team in Newton Aycliffe. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong electrical engineering background, who also has an appreciation or understanding of mechanical systems, to contribute to high-impact, technically complex projects.

Working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, you’ll play a key role in the design, development, and integration of electrical systems across a range of applications.

Some Key Responsibilities

  • Develop functional electrical schemes for systems and subassemblies
  • Produce detailed wiring diagrams, harness layouts and electrical documentation for production
  • Design electrical subassemblies, including cubicles, enclosures and external equipment
  • Define and specify electrical and electro-mechanical components
  • Prepare system and component technical specifications
  • Support integration and testing of electrical systems, including on-system validation
  • Conduct design reviews with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and customers
  • Collaborate across engineering disciplines, particularly where electrical and mechanical interfaces intersect

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.
