Job Title: Composite Structures Engineer
Location: South East England
Contract Type: Permanent
Why This Role Stands Out
- Significant autonomy, with engineers owning their work from concept through to validation
- Broad mix of industries and project sizes, so no two jobs look the same
- Clear support toward professional accreditation, with funded training and mentoring
Key Responsibilities
- Design composite parts and assemblies using mainstream CAD packages
- Select materials and define layups and fibre orientations
- Make design-for-manufacture decisions across processes such as infusion, RTM and prepreg
- Produce drawings, layup documentation and manufacturing specifications
- Run linear and non-linear FEA on composite structures
- Support simulation work with hand calculations and test correlation
- Evaluate stiffness, strength, buckling, fatigue and damage tolerance
- Write technical reports and design justifications that clients can act on
- Contribute to bids, proposals and client presentations
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
