Reading

Are you a Service Engineer with experience working on electrical or mechanical systems, looking to join a growing specialist business offering excellent training, career progression and the opportunity to work on critical life safety systems?

On offer is the chance to join a well-established smoke control contractor that designs, installs and maintains smoke ventilation systems across residential, commercial and industrial environments. You'll play an important role in ensuring these systems remain safe, reliable and compliant with current regulations.

You'll also provide technical support to customers and colleagues, contribute to maintaining high standards of safety and quality, and assist in mentoring junior engineers.

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.
