DFM Blades is an early-stage, ambitious startup (founded 2024) redefining how wind turbine blades are designed and manufactured.

Today, blade manufacturability is often considered too late in the design process, resulting in complex builds, heavy reliance on craftsmanship, avoidable defects, and costly rework.

Our mission

To change that — by developing fundamentally new blade design and manufacturing concepts that shift production from craftsmanship to engineered assembly. The goal is faster, more consistent, and truly scalable blade manufacturing.

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.
