The role
You'll start alongside a senior engineer, reviewing incoming RFQs, CAD and drawings and checking that materials, finishes, tolerances and quantities make sense. You'll prepare briefs for partner factories, check their quotes against them, and track orders through production, keeping customers updated as you go. You'll help with quality checks and rework, and get funded trips to see parts made in China.
You'll see more parts, processes and failure modes in a year here than most engineers see in five, and you'll take on your own repeat customers as you grow.
What you'll need
A degree in mechanical, manufacturing or product design engineering, or similar, with your first engineering role already under your belt.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Hands-on making experience, from a placement, a prototype shop, a workshop or a Formula Student build, where you made real parts.
Comfortable reading CAD models and 2D drawings, and curious about why a part is hard or expensive to make.
Clear, confident communication with customers and suppliers, and you're settled within easy reach of South East London.

What it isn't
This isn't a graduate scheme. There's no cohort of other graduates, no rotation and no chartership programme. It's a team of four, so you'll do chasing and admin as well as engineering, and you won't design the parts, you'll help get them made. It's around four days a week in the studio, more at the start. If you want structure handed to you, this won't suit. If you want responsibility early, it will.
