(This position requires a Secret Clearance; target salary is $60k)

COBRA

This role assists in ensuring mobile equipment is safely loaded, transported, positioned, and configured at designated operating locations in accordance with mission schedules. Provides advanced technical expertise in the operation, maintenance, calibration, and employment of electronic warfare (EW) mission systems and threat simulators to deliver realistic TTAO training for U.S. and NATO aircrews.

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.
