Gibson’s Engineering

Gibson’s Engineering are a leading train manufacturing, maintenance, and repair company based at the world-famous St Rollox Rail Depot in Springburn, Glasgow.

As a premier rail engineering firm, we take pride in our commitment to excellence, technological innovation, and dedication to advancing the future of rail transportation. Our mission is clear: to design, engineer, and maintain cutting-edge trains that set new standards in safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

We’re looking for a dual-skilled Mechanical & Electrical Engineer to maintain, fault-find, and repair rolling stock and depot systems – ensuring services run smoothly every day. The role may involve shift work, and attending incidents out of hours may be required to support urgent fault recovery.

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.
