The company is developing cutting-edge robotics and automation technology and has ambitious plans to triple in size over the next year.

- Ensuring sufficient stock and supplier capacity to support an extremely ambitious production ramp-up
- Identifying, evaluating and developing high-quality suppliers capable of supporting rapid growth
- Managing supplier performance, lead times, pricing and continuity of supply
- Working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams in a fast-paced, high-tech 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.
