With the Bristol office continuing to develop, there is now an opportunity for an experienced Graduate Structural Engineer to join the team and contribute to the design and delivery of high quality building structures projects.
This position would suit a motivated graduate engineer with a few years’ structural design experience who is keen to develop technically, take on responsibility and progress within a growing regional team.

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.
