As a trusted voice for many of the world’s most successful organizations, we use our knowledge to advance safety and performance, set industry benchmarks, and inspire and invent solutions to tackle global transformations.

About Energy Systems

We help customers navigate the complex transition to a decarbonized and more sustainable energy future. We do this by assuring that energy systems work safely and effectively, using solutions that are increasingly digital. We also help industries and governments to navigate the many complex, interrelated transitions taking place globally and regionally, in the energy industry.

About The Role

Assurance Services is a department of approximately 170 people dedicated to assurance services across various sectors. Our department is organized into two sections: the Project Assurance section, which provides the assurance services from the new building design phase up to the commissioning phase of assets, and the Asset Assurance section, which focuses on providing assurance services for operating assets such as offshore platforms, ships & onshore gas networks. Our complete cycle of services makes us a key contributor to the management of the energy trilemma (energy reliability, affordability, and sustainability) and energy transition. Our markets cover a broad range of energy sectors including upstream Oil & Gas, offshore Renewable Energy and any applications serving the energy industry.

Our Opportunity

As an Electrical, Instrumentation and Control Systems (E, I & C) Engineer in our Assurance Services department, you will join a growing team of big thinkers who love finding innovative solutions to our energy industry’s most challenging problems. Based in our Aberdeen office, you’ll be supported and provided with a development plan for your professional growth from day one.

Our Assurance Services department totals approximately 170 people, dedicated to assurance services across a broad range of energy sectors including upstream Oil & Gas, offshore Renewable Energy and any applications serving the energy industry. We offer a portfolio of services that primarily focuses on traditional Oil and Gas whilst also looking to create leading indicators within renewables, decarbonisation, and alternative fuels. Our complete cycle of services makes us a key contributor to the management of the energy trilemma (energy reliability, affordability, and sustainability) and energy transition.

Within this, our dedicated Marine Risk service line provides consultancy and advisory services, partnering with various stakeholders throughout the marine operations lifecycle, across a variety of offshore projects spanning the energy spectrum.

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.
