- Experience developing test procedures, conducting testing, and analysing test results
- Familiarity with FEA and CFD analysis, including interpretation of results
- Experience producing engineering documentation, including specifications, calculations, feasibility studies, and inspection documents
- Understanding of manufacturing processes and the impact of design decisions on production and cost
- Familiarity with downhole tools, completion tools, and well completion systems
- Knowledge of common downhole materials, service conditions, coatings, and mechanical performance requirements
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.
