Junior Mechanical Design Engineer
Location: Tamworth
Salary: Up to 45k

We're looking for a Junior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to develop their technical skills while working on clean and wastewater treatment projects. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, supporting the design and delivery of mechanical solutions across a range of non–infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the design of mechanical systems and equipment for clean and wastewater treatment projects.
  • Assist in producing mechanical design calculations, specifications, schedules, and drawings.
  • Help with equipment selection, preparing data sheets, and reviewing technical information.
  • Work closely with mechanical, civil, electrical, and process engineers to deliver coordinated design solutions.
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant industry standards, CDM regulations, and health and safety requirements.
  • Support site visits, inspections, commissioning activities, and technical investigations as required.
  • Learn from experienced engineers and contribute to continuous improvement within the design 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.
