About the Role
An established specialist contractor is looking to recruit a Design Engineer to join its growing engineering team. Working on a variety of commercial and residential projects, you'll be responsible for producing coordinated mechanical designs, technical calculations and detailed drawings for smoke ventilation and life safety systems.
You'll work closely with project teams, architects and consultants from concept through to construction, ensuring designs are technically compliant, practical and delivered on time. This role would suit someone with experience in smoke control, HVAC or mechanical building services design who is looking to develop within a specialist life safety sector.
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.
