🚨 Hiring: Lead Controls & Automation Engineer | Rugby
I’m partnering with a global leader in energy and electrification technology to hire a Lead Controls & Automation Engineer for their Rugby operation.
This is more than a PLC programming role. We’re looking for an engineer who can think at system level, designing and understanding how complex control and power systems work together.
What we’re looking for:
- High-level Control System Architecture & Design
- Strong PLC, SCADA & HMI expertise
- Power Management Systems / Power Systems knowledge
- Modbus, Profinet, Profibus, OPC-UA
- FAT, commissioning & technical documentation
- Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Marine, Offshore or Heavy Industry experience
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.
