- Experience working on production or manufacturing equipment
- Background in FMCG, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, packaging or a similar high-speed environment

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Applicants whose electrical background is based solely on college qualifications, domestic/commercial electrical work or facilities maintenance without a recognised engineering apprenticeship and relevant manufacturing experience are unlikely to be suitable for this position.
Experience with Siemens S5/S7 PLCs, inverter drives, COMPEX, hazardous areas, pneumatics or GMP environments would be beneficial, but not essential.
The role
You will respond to production breakdowns, carry out planned maintenance, support equipment modifications and small projects, and help improve reliability through root cause analysis and continuous improvement.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.

- Afternoons: Monday-Thursday, 2pm-10pm and Friday, 2pm-6pm

New starters will initially work days while they learn the site before moving onto independent shift coverage.

If you are a time-served Electrical Maintenance Engineer with strong manufacturing experience and enjoy hands-on fault finding, we would like to hear from you.
