Kinetic Recruitment are working in partnership with a global engineering organisation to recruit an experienced Senior Systems Engineer on a 12-month contract in the Bristol area. This is an exciting opportunity to work on industry-leading subsea projects, supporting both the tendering and project execution phases of complex subsea production control systems. You'll play a key role in delivering innovative engineering solutions for major offshore energy projects.
The Role:
Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you'll provide technical leadership throughout the project lifecycle, from supporting commercial tenders through to system design, integration, testing and project delivery.

Following project award, you'll transition into the execution team, taking ownership of the systems engineering activities required to successfully deliver the project.
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.
