Setting Out Engineer - Leeds / Grimsby (Temp to Perm)

Linsco Recruitment is currently recruiting for an experienced Setting Out Engineer on behalf of a well-established contractor specialising in the construction of large industrial and commercial warehouse developments.

  • Working closely with Site Managers and Project Managers to ensure works are delivered to programme.

  • Ensuring all work is completed in line with health and safety requirements.
  • Keeping accurate site records and as-built information.

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.
