This is a hands-on technical role working within a modern mineral processing facility, supporting the continued development, commissioning, and operation of a major UK project.

Please note: successful candidates must complete a Drug and Alcohol test on their first day.

Why Join?

  • Competitive hourly rate plus 15% shift allowance

About the Role

As an EC&I Engineer, you will support the reliability, safety, and performance of the processing plant through electrical, control, and instrumentation maintenance activities.

You will be responsible for fault finding, planned maintenance, commissioning support, and ensuring plant systems operate safely and efficiently. You will work closely with operations teams, mechanical engineers, and contractors to minimise downtime and maintain production performance.

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.
