Client
My client is a well-established and highly respected mechanical contractor with a long-standing reputation for delivering excellence in the building services industry. Known for their collaborative approach and technical expertise, they specialise in large-scale commercial projects across the UK.
The Role
I am seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join the team and play a key role in the design and delivery of complex mechanical building services systems. You will be involved in projects from initial concept through to completion, working closely with internal teams, clients, consultants, and contractors to ensure the highest standards of engineering design and coordination.
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.
