The Product Application Engineer
The Product Application Engineer is the technical specialist for Energy Management Systems (EMS), low-voltage power metering, power quality monitoring, and digital energy solutions.
Acting as the link between engineering, sales, partners, and customers, the role supports the specification, deployment, integration, and optimisation of energy monitoring solutions that improve energy performance, provide asset management, reduce costs, support sustainability goals, and enhance electrical system visibility.
The role requires a strong understanding of electrical distribution systems, power monitoring, energy management architectures, communications networks, and software platforms across commercial, industrial, healthcare, data centre, and critical infrastructure environments.
While primarily focused on EMS and power monitoring, knowledge of Building Management Systems (BMS) and smart building technologies is desirable as energy, electrical, and building operational data become increasingly integrated.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Application Expertise
- Provide technical expertise in power metering, power quality monitoring, EMS software, gateways, and associated infrastructure.
- Support system architecture, metering strategies, communications design, and reporting frameworks.
- Recommend solutions that meet customer requirements, industry standards, and energy management best practices.
- Advise on sub-metering, energy visibility, power quality, carbon reporting, and electrical network optimisation.
- Support integration of EMS platforms with BMS and smart building systems.
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.
