About BEAR Scotland
BEAR Scotland is a leading road maintenance and management service provider in Scotland, maintaining and improving Scottish Trunk Roads including bridges and structures through some of the most scenic, but challenging, parts of the country. The Northwest Trunk Road Unit spans some 1,422km of trunk road through some of the most scenic parts of the country.

Job Purpose
BEAR Scotland is looking for a Roads Engineer to support the design and delivery of trunk road improvement schemes across the Northwest network. This role offers the opportunity to work on projects ranging from 50k to 1M, contributing to the development and maintenance of critical infrastructure across some of Scotland’s most challenging and scenic regions.
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.
