About the Role

We are seeking a motivated Supply Chain Engineer to join our dynamic supply chain team. Find out more below!

In this role, you’ll play a key part in keeping our supply chain running smoothly and efficiently. Working closely with Supply Chain and Continuous Improvement teams, you'll help ensure the right parts and materials are in the right place at the right time.

You'll gain hands-on experience across a variety of activities, from supporting day-to-day operations and analysing data, to identifying opportunities for improvement that drive efficiency and productivity. You'll also contribute to maintaining Parts Flow Plans (PFEP), reviewing component packaging, and supporting projects that help optimise how we work.

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.
