Talented people are the key to our success.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineer to join our established Welsh Water delivery team, supporting the successful delivery of projects across the AMP8 portfolio.

This role will form a key part of our long-standing relationship with Welsh Water, providing technical leadership and engineering expertise across a diverse programme of clean water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Working within an established framework team, you will contribute to the safe, efficient and high-quality delivery of projects while supporting the development of junior engineers and site teams.

Reporting to the Site Agent, this is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious engineer looking to develop their career within a collaborative and growing water business.

About The Role

As a Senior Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering engineering excellence across multiple framework projects, ensuring that works are delivered safely, efficiently and in accordance with programme, quality and technical requirements.

You will play a key role in planning project activities, managing engineering processes and supporting site operations, while also mentoring and developing less experienced members of the team.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Providing engineering leadership and technical support throughout project delivery.
  • Planning and coordinating engineering activities to support successful project outcomes.
  • Ensuring works are undertaken in compliance with specifications, drawings and quality standards.
  • Supervising and mentoring junior engineers and site-based technical staff.
  • Supporting the Site Agent in the planning and delivery of construction activities.
  • Monitoring site operations and providing engineering solutions to technical challenges.
  • Assisting with programme management and progress monitoring.
  • Managing engineering records, documentation and quality assurance requirements.
  • Supporting the implementation of health, safety and environmental standards.
  • Coordinating with subcontractors, suppliers and project stakeholders.
  • Contributing to the continuous improvement of engineering and delivery processes.
  • Assisting with site supervision and construction management activities where required.
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships within the framework environment.

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.
