Mechanical Engineer

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who will be responsible for the design, development, and qualification of high-performance subsea electrical and optical connector systems for harsh offshore environments.

The role involves using CAD and FEA tools to develop reliable, cost-effective solutions, conduct testing and validation.

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will support product development projects from concept through to manufacture, installation, and operation.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Producing technical documentation
  • Leading design reviews
  • Supporting qualification testing
  • Driving continuous improvement
  • Contributing to engineering excellence

Key Requirements

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • 3+ years' experience in subsea or high-reliability mechanical systems.
  • Proficiency in CAD and FEA software.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical design, sealing technologies, pressure-rated equipment, and materials selection.
  • Knowledge of subsea production systems, connectors, testing, and relevant industry standards (API, ISO, ASME, IEC, IEEE).

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.
