Lead Control Systems Engineer
Senior/Lead Control Systems Engineer – Energy Sector
Location: Based in Glasgow or Staffordshire
We’re looking for an experienced and motivated engineer to join a growing Energy team, delivering cutting-edge control systems for renewable power generation and storage projects.
About the Role
In this position, you’ll lead project delivery throughout the full lifecycle—driving software design, development, and implementation for DCS/PLC/SCADA/RTU systems. You’ll also mentor junior engineers and collaborate closely with project managers.
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.
