This role is responsible for managing the engineering design and project execution of medium-voltage equipment across low- to medium-complexity projects. Working as part of a dedicated and highly skilled team, you will be focused on delivering tailored technical solutions while ensuring an excellent customer experience.

  • Organizing and leading project activities
  • Monitoring and controlling progress
  • Ensuring that budget, schedule, and quality requirements are met
  • Conducting effective risk assessment and mitigation throughout the project lifecycle
  • Coordinating closely with project deployment teams and other internal stakeholders to ensure smooth execution and successful adoption of project deliverables

What skills will make you successful?

  • Experience with medium-voltage electrical equipment, including switchgear, transformers, protection systems, and control circuits
  • Ability to create and review engineering drawings, technical documentation, BOMs, and electrical schematics using CAD tools such as AutoCAD or EPLAN
  • Strong project engineering or project management experience, including planning, risk management, and delivering projects on time and within budget
  • Solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, industry standards (IEC, BS EN), and manufacturing processes
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes and implement effective solutions
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively across customers, suppliers, and internal teams
  • Customer-focused, organized, and adaptable, with a commitment to delivering high-quality results in a fast-paced environment
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, or a related discipline. Experience supporting Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) is advantageous

What's in it for me?

  • Lead meaningful projects that directly impact customer success and organizational performance
  • Work with diverse teams across technologies and geographies in a collaborative environment
  • Grow your career with opportunities to expand your expertise and leadership capabilities
  • Be part of a team that values quality, innovation, and continuous improvement

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.
