Highway Technician

Are you looking to develop your career in highway engineering while working on projects that improve travel, safety and connectivity across Blackburn with Darwen?

We're seeking a Highway Technician to join our Highways Projects Team, supporting the design and delivery of highway improvement schemes from initial investigation and design through to construction.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers on a variety of projects, helping to produce AutoCAD drawings, coordinate site investigations, review technical information and support the delivery of schemes that make a real difference to local communities.

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.
