Exterior Lead Engineer

We are recruiting for an experienced Exterior Lead Engineer to support a major automotive engineering programme based in Gaydon/Whitley.

This is a 6-12 month contract offering an Excellent Day Rate Available.

You'll take ownership of exterior vehicle components from concept through to production, working closely with design, manufacturing and supplier teams to deliver high-quality engineering solutions. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to premium vehicle programmes while leading technical delivery across key exterior systems.

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.
