Senior Data Engineer: Contract | Up to £550/day outside IR35 | Hybrid, London

A major consumer goods business is seeking a contract Senior Data Engineer. The programme is consolidating a fragmented estate and standardising how things are done across the group. It's early days, the team is lean and the structure is still being shaped.

About the Role

As a Senior Data Engineer, you'd be building the pipelines and data infrastructure that underpin the wider transformation, taking data from disparate legacy systems across the group and getting it into a shared, reliable platform.

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.
