- Provide technical input into the selection, specification, procurement, and integration of LV electrical systems and associated equipment.
- Support the design and review of electrical distribution systems, switchboards, motor control centres (MCCs), transformers, UPS systems, and power infrastructure.
- Support supplier engagement, tender evaluations, technical assessments, and design reviews.
- Provide electrical engineering input throughout design, procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and operational readiness activities.
- Collaborate with mechanical, control & instrumentation, systems, safety, and project engineering teams within a highly regulated environment.
- Ensure engineering activities comply with relevant quality, safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
- Review and approve engineering documentation including single line diagrams, cable schedules, protection studies, load flow assessments, installation specifications, and commissioning documentation.
- Support equipment integration, system energisation, commissioning, and handover activities.
- Assist in resolving technical issues during installation and commissioning phases while ensuring compliance with project requirements.
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.
