Electronics Assembler | Colchester | £24,785 | 25 days' holiday + bank holidays
Looking to get into electronics?
You don't necessarily need years of experience to build a career in this industry. We're working with a well-established specialist manufacturer in the Colchester area who are looking for an Electronics Assembler to join their Relay Build Team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is practical, hands-on and keen to learn, with full training provided and genuine opportunities to develop your skills.
We've met someone currently working in the team who joined around five years ago from a completely different industry. They had some practical welding experience, was given the opportunity to learn, and has since built a career in electronics, and is still loving the job today.
The role
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.
