The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Electrical Engineer / Associate to join a growing multidisciplinary engineering consultancy.

This is a newly created position due to continued workload and business growth, offering an experienced Electrical Engineer the opportunity to take on greater responsibility, lead projects and support the development of junior members of the team.

The role is ideally based from Edinburgh, although Glasgow-based candidates will also be considered. There will be an expectation for candidates based outside Edinburgh to travel to the Edinburgh office as required, particularly to support the wider team and maintain strong client relationships.

The Role

You will be involved in the delivery of a varied portfolio of building services projects, taking a lead role across technically challenging schemes while working closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

Key Responsibilities Will Include

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.
