A leading UK rail infrastructure support provider is seeking a talented professional to join its growing geotechnical team.

About The Geotechnical Engineer Role
Based in Leeds, you'll play a key role in planning, managing, and delivering ground investigation projects from inception through to completion.

You'll also liaise with clients, mentor junior team members, and contribute to the successful delivery of complex rail and infrastructure schemes.
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.
