Principal Mechanical Engineer | London | Competitive Salary + Car Allowance
I’m currently working on an exciting opportunity for a Principal Mechanical Engineer to join an established and growing Building Services consultancy based in Farringdon, London.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Engineer who is ready to take on greater responsibility, work on a strong portfolio of projects, and continue progressing their career within a technically driven consultancy.
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.
