(Senior) Recruitment Consultant | Leicester | Advanced Engineering & Infrastructure
Umbilical Advanced is an international recruitment business supporting the future of advanced infrastructure and engineering.
About Us
Our Advanced Infrastructure team works with those organisations building, developing and operating the physical infrastructure that makes the digital world possible.
Our Advanced Engineering team partners with organisations that research, develop and manufacture the products that shape how we live.
We're a small, intimate business with big ambitions...
We work with some of the world's leading organisations across the UK, Europe and the USA.
We believe in the power of the human dimension, so we regularly get out to see our clients in person!
So, you'll need to be up for international travel!
We're based in Leicester's Cultural Quarter, in a converted factory that we own; exposed brick, big windows, loads of neon. It's really cool.
But the business we've built is even cooler.
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.
