Your New Role

We are working with a leading engineering and manufacturing organisation that is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join its growing team. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the development, commercialisation, and customisation of innovative products used across a global customer base. Working closely with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Purchasing teams, you will support the full product lifecycle, from concept and design through to testing, certification, manufacturing, and customer implementation. You will be responsible for delivering customer-specific engineering solutions, producing technical documentation, supporting product validation activities, and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance both product performance and manufacturing efficiency.

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.
