Mechanical SME – Data Centres | London | Up to £80,000 + bonus
Fancy moving client-side without moving away from the engineering?
I’m working with one of Europe’s fastest-growing data centre operators to appoint a Mechanical SME into its London team.
This is a business with a rapidly expanding European portfolio, a genuine focus on renewable-powered infrastructure, and some seriously ambitious growth plans.
The opportunity itself is what makes this one interesting. Rather than owning one small part of the design process, you'll act as a mechanical technical authority across the portfolio, influencing how critical infrastructure is designed, reviewed, improved, and ultimately operated.
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.
