  • Ensure all maintenance tasks are completed in accordance with approved procedures and company approvals.
  • Assist with aircraft and engine preservation activities, including engine wrapping and storage preparation.
  • Raise any safety concerns, damage, defects or non-conformities to the maintenance leadership team.
  • Actively participate in daily operational reviews and team briefings.
  • Maintain tools and equipment to the required standard, including routine tooling inventory checks.
  • Promote high standards of housekeeping, FOD prevention and workplace safety.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing safety, quality and productivity.
  • Contribute towards operational KPIs across safety, quality and delivery performance.
  • Undertake training to operate specialist equipment and support aircraft towing activities.
  • Support wider maintenance activities as required by the business.

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.
