Your new company

A leading precision engineering firm based in Glasgow is seeking an experienced CNC Machinist to join their high-performing team. This is an excellent opportunity to work with a company renowned for its commitment to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Your new role

You'll be responsible for setting, operating, and programming CNC machines to produce high-spec components to tight tolerances. Working from technical drawings, you'll ensure all parts meet strict quality standards while maintaining a clean and safe working environment.

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.
