About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Electrical or M&E Engineer to join our small, friendly site-based team, working within a state-of-the-art building for a prestigious client.

This is primarily an electrical-focused role, including elements of fabric works such as the inspection of fire doors and riser doors. Full training will be provided for this aspect of the role.

You’ll be working alongside a Fabric Engineer and Supervisor, as well as closely with the client’s own engineering team. We’re looking for someone who can bring good general building-services knowledge to the role and is comfortable assessing issues outside of their core discipline.

Working Pattern

  • Monday - Friday 8:00 - 16:30
  • Regular overtime paid at enhanced rate
  • Frequent weekend working
  • Occasional evening/night shifts

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering electrical PPMs and assessing reactive tasks.
  • Inspecting fire doors and riser doors, with training provided where required.
  • Assessing M&E defects and identifying appropriate remedial works.
  • Interrogating BMS and remote monitoring systems to carry out health checks and identify faults.
  • Working closely with the client’s engineering team and other site personnel.
  • Liaising with contractors attending site, acting as a point of contact, understanding the works they are attending to carry out and directing them to the correct location.
  • Providing contractors with access, escort, and assistance where required.
  • Keeping up to date with contractor visits and works taking place across the site, including works outside of your own discipline.
  • Using your wider knowledge of building services to assess issues involving plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems where required.
  • Providing clear information to support the diagnosis and resolution of issues.
  • Maintaining accurate site records and ensuring relevant procedures are followed.
  • Providing a professional and customer-focused service at all times.

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.
