  • Support the creation and distribution of work packages, often across multiple cross-functional teams, guiding the project toward a successful passage through project milestones through to completion and volume production.
  • Ensure mechanical engineering of product development meets stakeholder and product requirements, and is compliant with relevant regulations, directives, and standards, by design.
  • Act as a role model for graduate and apprentice members of staff, helping in providing relevant training and ensure consistency and quality.

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.
