Are you looking for a long-term opportunity with a consultancy where your technical experience can directly influence the future of the business?
A well-established structural engineering consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior / Associate Structural Engineer to join its Cambridge office. With a strong pipeline of work continuing to come through, this is an opportunity for an experienced engineer to join a close-knit team and take a leading technical role across a diverse range of building structures projects.

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.
