Senior Electrical Design Engineer

We're hiring a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to lead the design of megawatt-scale industrial power systems for an innovative, fast-growing engineering company. This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys solving complex technical challenges.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the AC power system architecture for large-scale industrial systems
  • Design electrical schematics, panel layouts, protection strategies, and cable sizing
  • Lead functional safety activities (HAZOP, FMEA, IEC 61508/SIL)
  • Support CE/UKCA compliance and electrical system certification
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and mentor junior engineers

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.
