This is a hands-on engineering role within a small, fast-moving team, taking chassis systems from concept and detailed design through to prototype build and validation.

  • 3D CAD and 2D engineering drawings using CATIA V5
  • Part Design, Surface Design and Drafting
  • DFMEA and engineering documentation
  • BOM management and engineering release
  • Supplier liaison and prototype component manufacture
  • Prototype vehicle builds and testing
  • Chassis subsystem architecture and detailed design

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.

Experience across motorsport, performance vehicles, low-volume automotive or OEM vehicle development would be particularly relevant.

This is a great opportunity for a contractor who enjoys being close to the product working alongside suppliers, technicians and vehicle development teams rather than designing in isolation.
