Senior Test Engineer

We're looking for a Senior Test Engineer for a central government department, based across multiple UK sites including Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester, Blackpool and Leeds (hybrid) on an initial 6-month contract, paying up to £600 per day (Inside IR35).

This is a hybrid role with an expectation to spend around 3 days a week on site.

Responsibilities

The successful Senior Test Engineer will:

  • Define the overall testing strategy and provide technical leadership across multiple test engineering teams.
  • Own delivery of testing activities against quality, time and cost objectives.
  • Act as the escalation point for defects and blockers.
  • Shape test infrastructure and tooling decisions.
  • Drive standardisation and best practice by sharing reusable libraries, lessons learned and reporting approaches with stakeholders.

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.
