Overview:

We're recruiting on behalf of a client for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join their Chassis' Team. This is an exciting opportunity to develop innovative concepts and design the next generation of market-leading products, supporting the team from concept through to production.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop, engineer, and validate new systems and components from concept to production.
  • Communicate design requirements clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders.
  • Support product launches and provide engineering assistance to resolve production and field issues.
  • Investigate service issues, identify root causes, and implement practical solutions.
  • Work collaboratively within a cross-functional team, maintaining high standards of quality and attention to detail.

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.
