We're currently looking for an experienced Electrical Systems Engineer to join an exciting engineering project supporting the development and integration of electrical systems across marine and power generation applications.
You'll be involved throughout the full engineering lifecycle, from concept and system architecture through to testing, commissioning and final delivery, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
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.
