Milton Keynes (Hybrid)
My client is a global leader in intelligent management access systems. Trusted by many of the world’s largest organizations across nearly every industry sector, they have grown exponentially since their inception in the late 1990s.
Due to growth, they are now recruiting for a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who will play a key role in the design and development of their next-generation products while also supporting continuous improvement across the current portfolio. As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will transform concepts into robust production-ready designs, applying innovative techniques and collaborating with colleagues across a global network. This role falls under the R&D flexible-working scheme, allowing you to choose when to work from home or the office, although hands-on tasks such as prototyping and testing will require regular presence in the office.
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.
