What You’ll Be Doing:

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll take ownership of mechanical design activities across the full project lifecycle, with a focus on water and wastewater infrastructure. This includes involvement at all AMP cycle stages – from early feasibility and outline design through to detailed design, construction support, and commissioning.

Working within multi-disciplinary teams (PMEICA and Civils), you’ll produce and manage mechanical designs in accordance with our Business Management System (BMS), CDM regulations, and client specifications. Your input will directly support treatment works for both clean and wastewater – covering pumping stations, screening, pipework, sludge handling, filtration systems, and associated M&E elements.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Providing technical input for procurement and supporting site teams during installation and commissioning
  • Assisting in the management of sub-contractors and external consultants to ensure high-quality design outputs
  • Supporting project teams with scheduling, resource planning, and risk management where required

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.
