Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer looking for an opportunity to make a real impact across complex infrastructure and engineering projects?

Join our Engineering Services team and play a key role in delivering the plant, maintenance and systems engineering that underpins our operations. Working across the full project lifecycle, from concept and design through to implementation, operation and eventual decommissioning, you'll help shape safe, efficient and innovative engineering solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a highly skilled engineering environment where you'll collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, influence technical decision-making, and contribute to the successful delivery of critical projects.

What You'll Be Doing

As an Electrical Engineer, you'll take ownership of engineering activities that support major infrastructure and operational projects. You will:

  • Deliver electrical engineering activities across the full project lifecycle.
  • Provide technical governance, design assurance and specification development for infrastructure projects.
  • Manage contractors, project works and stakeholder relationships to ensure successful project delivery.
  • Promote the highest standards of safety, environmental compliance and engineering excellence.

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.
