Luton- Bedfordshire Patch

Are you a Generator Engineer looking to join a global leader in power generation, working on critical energy infrastructure projects with industry-leading training, excellent earning potential, and long-term career progression opportunities?

This is an opportunity to join an internationally recognised engineering business with over 40 years of expertise in the power generation industry. Employing more than 200 specialists, the company designs, manufactures, installs and maintains a diverse range of energy solutions including CHP systems, diesel and gas generators, biogas and landfill gas engines, and battery energy storage systems. Their equipment supports hospitals, manufacturing facilities, utilities, commercial sites and public sector organisations across the UK, playing a vital role in delivering reliable, sustainable energy infrastructure.

In this role, you will service, maintain and repair diesel and gas-powered generator systems across customer sites throughout Bedfordshire. You'll carry out planned preventative maintenance, diagnose mechanical and electrical faults, respond to breakdowns and ensure customers receive a first-class service while maintaining maximum equipment uptime.

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.
