Senior Automation Engineer

I am looking for a Senior Automation Engineer to help deliver data centre projects for a global leader in data centre automation. The customers are primarily in the Slough area.

📍 Daily presence on customer sites in Slough is required. 📝 Full-time, permanent

This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys being on site, leading teams, and taking responsibility for delivering engineering work on time and to a high standard. You’ll join an established (2000+ employees) international automation business, supporting its UK data centre customers and coordinating teams to design and deliver defined scopes of work.

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.
