Are you an experienced Assembler, Production Technician, or Manufacturing Operative with a good eye for detail and a hands-on approach?
Would you like to join an established engineering and manufacturing business where quality is at the heart of everything they do?
We're supporting a leading manufacturing business in Fareham who are looking for an Assembler to join their Test Department on a permanent day shift.
Offering a salary of £29,000 per annum, this is a great opportunity for someone with practical assembly experience who enjoys working within a quality-focused engineering environment.
What's the role all about?

This is a hands-on role where attention to detail, quality, and following processes accurately are essential.
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.
