We're looking for an experienced Network Architect to provide architectural leadership and technical assurance across a complex Defence WAN environment.
Working with Customers, suppliers, and technical stakeholders, you'll be responsible for reviewing network designs, supporting service transitions, managing technology lifecycle activities, and ensuring WAN solutions remain secure, compliant, and aligned to future network strategy.
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.
