Solar Engineer
Solar Group Utilities is looking for an experienced Solar Engineer to support the ongoing operation, maintenance, and performance of utility-scale solar in the Cambridge area.
This is a hands-on, site-based role focused on keeping solar farms operating safely, efficiently, and at their best. You’ll be working on sites typically 3MW and above, carrying out fault finding, technical investigations, and supporting maintenance and system improvements.
You’ll be part of a growing engineering team, supporting the long-term performance of assets and helping identify and resolve issues across every 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.
