Engineering Manager (Electrical Bias)

Engineering Manager (Electrical Bias)

Chesterfield
£55,000
Days

Are you an experienced Engineering Manager with a strong electrical background looking for a role where you can stay hands-on while leading a team? This is a brilliant opportunity to join a forward-thinking manufacturing business in Chesterfield, offering a genuine 50/50 split between hands-on engineering and people management.

The Role

As Engineering Manager, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day engineering function within a close-knit, collaborative team. You'll be equally comfortable picking up the tools as you are leading and developing your engineers - this isn't a desk-only role, and the business values a manager who leads from the front.

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.
