Brightsmith are pleased to partner with a growing business operating at the forefront of the UK’s low-carbon heat transition, delivering projects across heat networks, energy centres, heat pumps, and wider thermal infrastructure. As the business continues to grow its project pipeline, we’re looking for experienced Project Engineers who want to play a hands-on role in delivering the next generation of the UK’s heat infrastructure.
This could be a great opportunity for someone coming from district heating, heat networks, large-scale heat pumps, energy centres, HVAC, building services, industrial energy, or wider energy infrastructure. Through this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on projects that are not only technically interesting, but are also helping to shape the future of the UK’s heating and energy system.
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.
