Project Engineer
Sheffield | Permanent |
This is an opportunity to join a business that continues to invest in its people, processes and capability, working on genuinely varied, high-profile engineering projects rather than routine, repeat-pattern work.
Connected Engineering is proud to be partnering exclusively with a well-established UK engineering business, recognised for its innovation, precision and delivery on complex mechanical handling and kinetic architecture projects. Our client delivers world-class work across Defence, Aerospace, Nuclear, Sports & Entertainment and Infrastructure, and continued growth means they're now looking to strengthen their delivery team with an experienced Project Engineer based in Sheffield.
The Role
Reporting into the project management team, you'll support the delivery of engineering projects to time, budget and specification, coordinating resources, managing suppliers and overseeing execution from planning through to completion on site.
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.
