Project Lead | Space Technology | East of England
If you've ever looked at a satellite image and wondered how it got there, this is the team building the hardware that makes it possible.
Our client designs and manufactures imaging sensors used on space missions worldwide, from planet-hunting satellites to Mars rovers. With decades of heritage in the sector and a strong track record across a large number of missions, they're now scaling up several large, multi-year programmes and need a Project Lead to own delivery from requirements through to verification.
The role:
You'll be the technical backbone of a project. That means owning the requirement set end to end (gathering it, flowing it down to each engineering discipline, keeping the compliance matrix honest throughout), and acting as the main technical point of contact with the customer. You'll write the Engineering Management Plan, chair the major gate reviews, and manage risk before it becomes a problem rather than after. You'll also get involved in bid work, shaping technical proposals alongside the wider team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in one discipline. You'll be working across mechanical, electronics, cryogenics and more, pulling together inputs from specialists and making sure the whole thing adds up to a system that actually works.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Strong background in requirements management (JAMA experience is a bonus, not a must)
- Proven risk management on complex, multi-year technical projects
- Comfort working across multiple engineering disciplines, not just your own
- Confidence managing customer expectations and holding the line on scope
- Solid technical writing and presentation skills
Sector background is flexible. Whether you've built this experience in space, defence, or another complex regulated industry, if you can own a requirement set and steer a technical project through its full lifecycle, we want to hear from you.
