Build Solutions. Solve Problems. Shape Your Career.
Are you an engineer who enjoys getting out on site, solving real-world technical challenges, and seeing your work make an immediate impact?
We're looking for a Technical Applications Engineer to join our growing Technical Services & Solutions team in a newly created role that bridges the gap between traditional field service and project engineering.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys combining mechanical engineering, customer interaction and hands-on installation work while developing towards a Senior Project Engineer position in the future.
If you're looking for a business that genuinely invests in its people, offers structured career progression, and gives you the freedom to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
As a Technical Applications Engineer, you'll work closely with customers, service engineers, and internal technical teams to deliver bespoke engineering solutions that enhance industrial coding and marking systems.
No two days will be the same. One day you could be carrying out a site survey, the next designing and installing a custom mounting solution, before supporting the integration of specialist equipment on a customer production line.
You'll become the technical expert customers rely upon to deliver practical, high-quality engineering solutions safely, efficiently, and professionally.
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.

About You

- A good understanding of electrical and software-controlled industrial machinery
