Are you an Electrical Engineer from a renewables background with Solar PV experience, looking to come off the tools and join a rapidly growing, well-established company that will value your development through tailored in-house training and progression to become a fully-fledged Estimator?
On offer is an exciting opportunity to kick start your career as an Estimator and work on bespoke renewable projects for a range of high-profile clients all over the UK.
In this office-based role you will be responsible for the costing and pricing of large-scale residential and commercial Solar PV projects. You will take tenders and enquiries from customers and liaise closely with the design and installation teams to ensure all projects are completed on time and within budget. You will receive full in-house training on Estimating but prior Solar PV knowledge is essential.
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.
