About CPI
CPI helps make great ideas and inventions a reality. We’re a team of intelligent people using advances in science and technology to solve the biggest global challenges in healthcare and sustainability.
Through our incredible people and innovation infrastructure, we collaborate with our partners in industry, academia, government, and the investment community to accelerate the development and commercialisation of innovative products.

The role
As an Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) Maintenance Technician, you will join CPI's Operations Support Team, providing technical maintenance expertise across our Wilton facilities. You will play a key role in ensuring the reliability, performance and availability of plant and equipment, while supporting continuous improvement and maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and regulatory compliance.
Working at the forefront of innovation, you'll support cutting-edge research, development and scale-up activities across CPI's technology centres and specialist facilities. Although your primary focus will be our Wilton site, there may be opportunities to support activities at our Darlington and Sedgefield locations when required.
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.
