Software & Control Systems Engineer - Contract - Outside IR35 - Bucks/Remote

I am currently supporting a client of mine to seek a software & control systems engineer to join the business on an initial 6 month contract, with the opportunity for the position to be extended beyond this. The company are an industry leader in safety critical electrification applications and have just won a big project, on which they require the support.

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.
