Senior Electrical Project Engineer

Location: UK (Home-based with travel)
Salary: Up to £65,000 + Car Allowance

The Role

We’re recruiting for a Senior Electrical Project Engineer to support the design and delivery of electrical systems across a range of power generation and renewable energy projects.

You’ll be involved across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility through to commissioning — working closely with multidisciplinary teams on technically complex projects.

This is a home-based role with regular UK site travel, including periods spent on project sites during key phases (design, installation, commissioning). Occasional international travel may also be required.

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.
