About this opportunity:
As an ESN Engineer, you will own a designated group of sites, working as part of a four-person team covering adjacent territories. The role requires you to be self-managing, proactively maintaining your sites and collaborating closely with other ESN engineers and the wider FSO team to solve problems, with the goal of boosting network resilience and network availability.
This position requires a flexible work schedule, including participation in a 24/7 on call rota and potential shift work to handle tasks outside of normal business hours. You must be prepared to travel and stay away from home for service recovery mainly on the remote islands. In a major network event scenario, you should be available to lead and complete the recovery in your own and adjoining areas.
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.
