Engineering Programme Lead
Bristol (hybrid)
£80,000 - £90,000 + bonus and benefits
We’re working with a global engineering and manufacturing business seeking an Engineering Programme Lead to drive technical excellence in product development by guiding multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
This is a management role where you will act as technical authority on a number of different programmes and projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the technical authority for relevant projects, ensuring clear understanding of products, functions, and design intent.
- Lead and manage all engineering activities across disciplines—mechanical, electrical, software, test, and development engineering—for assigned systems.
- Provide technical direction and expertise to ensure system designs are standardized, configurable, and optimized for performance, uptime, and cost of ownership.
- Collaborate with Programme Management and the Technology Group to align on strategy, receive guidance, and escalate technical challenges when necessary.
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.
