Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer

Location: Portsmouth

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to join an innovative engineering business developing advanced electromechanical products. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being involved throughout the entire product lifecycle, from initial concept through to testing and final manufacture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce detailed mechanical designs and 3D CAD models for new products and assemblies.
  • Build, assemble, and evaluate prototype equipment.
  • Manufacture or modify components using workshop machinery where required.
  • Operate additive manufacturing equipment to support rapid prototyping and product development.
  • Integrate mechanical assemblies with motors, sensors, and other electrical components.
  • Carry out testing, fault finding, and design improvements to optimise performance and reliability.
  • Support the transition of new designs into low-volume and full-scale production.

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.
