About The Role
A great opportunity to join our team and bring your passion for electrical design to our cutting-edge fuel cell technology.
As Principal Electrical Engineer within our AC Product Development team, you’ll play a key role in leading the design and delivery of wiring harnesses and other electrical work packages. Working in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, you’ll collaborate closely with experts across engineering disciplines to turn innovative concepts into robust, production-ready solutions.

Your work will meet applicable certification standards, supporting the delivery of safe, commercially viable and technically excellent products.
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.
