Oxford, Oxfordshire (Southwest/Midlands patch)
Are you a Field Service Engineer or similar from a Manufacturing background looking for a varied and autonomous role within a long-established manufacturer of production equipment undergoing a period of exciting growth who offer full industry training and door-to-door pay as you cover a regional patch?
Since the 1970s, this multi-million £ company has been providing production equipment such as conveyors and bar feeders to the manufacturing industry with a customer base ranging from household names to bespoke, tight-knit businesses. Through continued success, they have established a global presence, and have over 50 employees and due to continued growth, they are now looking to grow their friendly Service team.
In this field-based role, you will receive your weekly schedule via a company laptop before travelling to customer sites across the Southwest and Midlands with weekly stay aways required. You will carry out primarily PPM (70%) as well as reactive maintenance (30%), and occasional installations. Alongside this, you will receive ongoing in-house and manufacturer-led training to develop your electrical and mechanical knowledge of the company's equipment and to continually upskill yourself.
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.
