We are a dynamic and fast-growing structural engineering consultancy working on a wide variety of projects across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.

The Role

We are particularly looking for someone with experience in:
- Structural design, particularly within the residential sector
- Hand calculations and a strong understanding of fundamental structural engineering principles
- Producing clear engineering hand sketches, details and design information
- TEDDS
- AutoCAD
- Working with architects, contractors and other construction professionals
- Managing their own workload and taking responsibility for individual projects
- Working effectively under pressure and meeting project deadlines
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.

Experience using Tekla Structural Designer would be an advantage, although this is not essential.
The right candidate will be enthusiastic, organised and proactive, with a willingness to take ownership of their projects while working closely with our wider engineering team.
The role will provide the opportunity to be involved in projects from the early stages of structural assessment and design through to detailed design and construction.
As part of the interview process, candidates should expect a technical discussion and short assessment covering fundamental structural engineering principles.
We are interested in understanding how you approach engineering problems, apply first principles and develop practical structural solutions.
What We Offer
In return, you will have the opportunity to join a small but rapidly growing structural engineering consultancy where your contribution will be recognised and where you can gain exposure to a broad range of projects.
