Test Engineer

An established engineering and manufacturing business specializing in advanced industrial systems is seeking an experienced Test Engineer to join its growing team. Due to increased workload, long-term project demand, and ongoing product development, this is an excellent opportunity to work on highly technical machinery within a collaborative engineering environment.

The Role

Reporting to the Engineering Director and working closely with existing test engineers, production, and engineering teams, you will be responsible for the testing, fault finding, assembly, and validation of complex machinery and systems.

This role would suit a hands-on engineer with strong electrical and electronic diagnostic skills who enjoys problem-solving and working across multidisciplinary systems.

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.
