£39,000 to £40,000 per annum
What You'll Do:

- Responding to breakdowns and carrying out effective fault finding on industrial machinery
- Working with motors, contactors, relays, sensors, overloads, drives and inverters
- Supporting electrical project work, including panel wiring and new installations

- Providing basic mechanical support as part of a multi-skilled engineering team
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.
