Are you passionate about smart home technology and enjoy bringing innovative systems to life?

We're working with a well-established specialist within the smart home automation sector who is looking to strengthen their engineering team with either an experienced Automation Engineer or a Junior Engineer looking to develop their career.

Working across prestigious residential properties, you'll be involved in delivering bespoke automation and AV solutions, taking projects from installation through to commissioning, servicing, and ongoing support. No two projects are the same, giving you the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in some truly impressive environments.

The Role

You'll be responsible for the installation, commissioning, servicing, and maintenance of integrated smart home systems, ensuring every project is delivered to the highest possible standard. You'll work from technical drawings, diagnose faults, overcome technical challenges, and provide excellent customer service while working closely with clients and other trades on site.

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.
