Engineer (Highways Projects)

Are you an experienced highway design professional looking to make a real impact?

We're looking for an Engineer to join our Highways Projects Team, helping deliver schemes that improve safety, connectivity and sustainable travel across the borough.

You'll work on a wide range of projects including active travel, road safety, highway maintenance, traffic signals, bus infrastructure and developer-led schemes, taking projects from design through to construction.

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.
