Edinburgh - Scotland Patch

Are you a Wind Turbine Service Engineer looking to maximise your earnings with unlimited overtime, door-to-door pay, and industry-leading training on Vestas turbines?

This UK-based renewable energy specialist provides nationwide operation, maintenance, and technical support for onshore wind turbines in the 200kW to 850kW range.

In this role, you will carry out planned and reactive mechanical maintenance on onshore wind turbines across Scotland. You will be responsible for servicing, inspection, fault-finding, and repair of turbine mechanical systems, component replacement, report completion, and working safely at height across remote wind farm sites.

You will also receive specialist training on Vestas turbines to further develop your technical skills within the renewable energy industry.

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.
