Are you a Field Service Engineer with experience in mechanical, electrical or hydraulic systems, looking for a well-paid, local patch role with door-to-door pay and strong earning potential?

On offer is an excellent opportunity to join a growing materials handling company that invests in its engineers through ongoing training and support. You will work across a localised patch, servicing and repairing a range of forklifts and associated equipment, with a strong focus on first-time fixes and customer satisfaction.

Due to continued expansion, the company is looking to recruit a skilled and motivated Field Service Engineer to strengthen their team across the Slough and M4 corridor area.

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.
