Senior Automation Engineer

Currently recruiting a Senior Test Engineer for a company based within the aviation sector.

Working with a strong team around you, this role will be pivotal in the supply of test scripting. The role will come naturally to an individual who has experience of dealing with testing software products and reporting when it does not meet the customer's needs. With a mix of both manual and automated testing, this role will suit an individual who has tested in both environments.

The purpose of the job is:

  • To prepare test specs and test scripts
  • To prepare records of the tests conducted
  • To report where the software does not meet its specification
  • To prepare and maintain user documentation

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.
