Senior FCERM Engineer
Northumberland County Council is seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Engineer to play a leading role in delivering the Council's statutory responsibilities.
This is a strategic role with a strong focus on flood risk and coastal erosion policy development, statutory functions, planning consultation, and asset management. We're looking for a professional with substantial experience in flood and coastal erosion risk management, policy development, stakeholder engagement, and infrastructure project delivery. You'll bring excellent technical knowledge, strong leadership skills, and the ability to influence strategic decision-making at local and regional levels.
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.
