Are you an HV Fitter or similar with a background working in DNO or Substation environments looking for a new role with a market-leading company within the Power industry that will support and aid your progression with qualifications and provide a range of benefits including regular automatic overtime to generously boost your income?
This company have been providing substation engineering services UK wide for over half a century. They are ever expanding and looking to grow their team to support the continuous growth of the business.
In this role you will pay a key part in the installation and assembly of high-voltage substation equipment, including switchgear, transformers, structural steelwork, and control panels. The role involves hands-on mechanical and electrical fitting, cable installation and terminations, earthing and bonding, and supporting testing and commissioning activities.
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.
