Company Description

BJF Group is a leading multidiscipline Main Contractor based across the UK, specialising in delivering high quality construction projects across various sectors priding ourselves of our reputation for excellence and attention to detail.

Within our Facilities Management division, the Southwest Core team plays a crucial role in the day-to-day delivery of reactive and preventative works across a diverse range of properties and systems within our client's sites - as a Catering Service Engineer, you would be expected to perform various reactive and preventative, trade-related duties listed below to enable BJF Group to meet and exceed its contractual obligations with its clients across multiple estates of varying ages and building types.

Position

The role of our Catering Service Engineer centres on maintaining catering assets to a high operational standard, ensuring all equipment is serviced, safe, compliant with legislation, and used correctly. It involves monitoring asset condition to support timely replacement planning and minimise downtime, as well as sourcing cost‑effective spare parts and identifying opportunities to introduce improved alternatives. The job also requires advising on misuse when equipment isn’t utilised properly and staying informed about new or updated catering equipment through research and manufacturer training.

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.
