To support our growth, IKOS Consulting UK is seeking to recruit talented Rolling Stock Mechanical Engineers.

As part of the Rolling Stock team, you will become involved in a wide variety of projects. These could be small problem-solving projects or feasibility studies, maintenance extensions, through to full systems integration projects.
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.
As you might expect, the Rolling Stock team is not only involved in passenger rolling stock. We also undertake projects on locomotives as well as On-track Machines and engineering vehicles.
Not all the tasks will be purely mechanical which is why you will have a broad knowledge of Rolling Stock and be able to take control of projects and tasks with limited supervision. You will have good interpersonal skills and be able to easily communicate with your colleagues and be comfortable liaising and communicating with our clients.
You will not only be responsible for the technical delivery of projects, but you will be comfortable managing budgets, programmes and looking after the commercial side of projects. You may also be required to manage a small team in the course of the project delivery.
The role is hybrid, however a flexible mindset is essential. You may be required to work on-site at our client’s premises for a period of time, as well as in our Derby office or other locations as the job dictates.
