ROLE: Head of Engineering & Homologation

BASED: North-West Based

SALARY: £50,000 - £55,000

ROLE – Head of Engineering & Homologation:

My client is a specialist manufacturing business operating within the commercial vehicle sector. They are looking to recruit a technically strong engineering professional to oversee vehicle compliance, product development, and homologation activities across the business.

The role will involve working closely with OEMs, suppliers, customers, and internal departments to ensure all vehicle builds meet current legislation, technical standards, and customer requirements. You will also support bespoke design projects, product innovation, and provide technical support to both sales and production teams.

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.
