Engage talent Partners are working with our Aberdeen based client to recruit a Graduate Design Engineer to join their Engineering Team.

Our client is an established and growing business with a global presence across multiple sectors, including oil and gas, renewables and defence. With exciting developments across these markets and a strong pipeline of work ahead, it’s a great time to be joining the team.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you’ll be part of the design team, working on both standard and bespoke products from initial concept through to production. You’ll help develop practical, cost-effective solutions to meet client requirements, working closely with the wider engineering and production teams.

The role will give you exposure to product design, testing and validation, design improvements and engineering tools, with plenty of opportunity to develop your technical skills and take on more responsibility as you progress.

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.
