Project Engineer - Water Projects - West Yorkshire
£45,000 + Car / Allowance
I’m working with a rapidly growing engineering business in Yorkshire that is looking to add a Project Engineer to its team.
The business delivers specialist engineering projects predominantly across the Yorkshire Water network and has a strong pipeline of work ahead.
This isn’t a huge corporate environment where you become another number. It’s a small, close-knit team with a proper family feel, backed by a wider engineering group, with plenty of opportunity to learn, develop and take on more responsibility as the business grows.
They’re ideally looking for somebody with water industry / MEICA experience, but they’re also open to speaking with Junior Project Engineers or Engineers ready to make the next step.
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.
