Project Engineer – IT Infrastructure & Networking
Key Points
- Salary up to £45,000
- Hands-on infrastructure projects across servers, storage, networking, wireless & security

About the Client
We’re working with an established technology business delivering infrastructure solutions to customers across the UK.
They’re looking for an experienced Project Engineer who wants more than sitting behind the same desk every day. You’ll be getting hands-on with customer projects, seeing different environments and taking responsibility for delivering infrastructure solutions from design and scoping through to implementation.
A bit of honesty upfront – this role does involve UK travel and staying away from home when projects require it. If you’re looking for a predominantly home-based position, this won’t be the right move. If you enjoy being out on-site, meeting customers and actually getting your hands on the technology, there’s plenty of variety here.
The Benefits
- Salary up to £45,000
- Genuine variety across different customer environments
- Broad infrastructure, networking and security exposure
- Ownership of projects from scoping through to delivery
- Mix of technical consultancy and hands-on implementation
- Opportunity to expand your experience across multiple technologies
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.

The Project Engineer Role
You’ll deliver IT infrastructure projects both remotely and on customer sites across the UK. That means installing and configuring server, storage, networking, wireless and security solutions, alongside carrying out technical audits, site surveys and consultancy work.
You’ll also contribute to technical pre-sales, produce design documentation and act as a senior technical escalation point when required.
It’s a role for somebody who enjoys doing – understanding the requirement, working out the solution and then getting on-site to deliver it.
And yes, there will be overnight stays. We’d rather make that crystal clear from day one. In return, you’re getting a role with considerably more variety than working on the same infrastructure every day.
