Ever designed machinery that actually moves?

We're recruiting for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join a global engineering business at the forefront of industrial automation technology.

This is an opportunity to work on the full product lifecycle designing, developing, testing, and improving electro:mechanical products used in manufacturing facilities worldwide.

If you enjoy turning concepts into real products, solving engineering challenges, and seeing your designs progress from CAD through to production, this could be the role for you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing mechanical assemblies and automation products using SolidWorks
  • Creating 3D models, drawings, and engineering documentation
  • Developing prototypes and carrying out product testing
  • Investigating failures and implementing design improvements
  • Working with manufacturing teams to bring products into production
  • Supporting customers and colleagues with technical queries
  • Producing technical reports, specifications, and training materials
  • Collaborating with international engineering teams on new product development projects

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.
