Mechanical Design Engineer - Marine Projects

North West England
£50,000 – £75,000 depending on experience
Marine / Maritime Engineering

I’m working with an established engineering organisation looking to add an experienced Marine Mechanical Design Engineer to its technical team.

This isn’t a purely desk-based design role. They need someone who combines strong mechanical design capability with genuine hands-on engineering experience and understands how mechanical systems work in a real marine environment.

What we’re looking for:

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.
