About the Role
Haines Temporary Works Ltd is looking to establish a working relationship with an experienced freelance Temporary Works Engineer / Design Checker to provide design checking support on an ad-hoc basis.
The work will primarily involve CAT I design checks in accordance with BS 5975, with the potential for other temporary works design and checking work depending on experience and workload.
This is not a permanent position or employed position. It is intended for an engineer operating independently, either as a sole trader or through their own consultancy/company.
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.
