Key Notes
For public- and private-sector clients, you’ll design highway, drainage and active-travel infrastructure for public- and private-sector clients from feasibility through detailed design and statutory approval. The role covers technical outputs, coordination across disciplines and support during construction, with opportunities to direct graduates and technicians. Civil-engineering design experience and knowledge of DMRB, MCHW, MfS and local standards are sought. This is a permanent hybrid Birmingham or London role.
What You'll Work On
- Prepare preliminary and detailed road, drainage and active-travel designs using DMRB, MCHW, MfS, TSM and relevant local-authority standards.
- Progress statutory approvals and provide design support during construction, coordinating the engineering inputs required from other disciplines on the scheme.
- Guide graduates and technicians on assigned highway design tasks and coordinate their technical outputs with the wider project team.
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.
