Are you a Field Service Engineer, with a mechanical and electrical background, looking to join a growing manufacturer of specialist packaging machinery?
On offer is the opportunity to join a UK market-leading supplier of liquid filling and capping machinery. The company designs, manufactures, installs and supports packaging equipment for the cosmetic, personal Care, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
You will provide installation, servicing, maintenance and breakdown support on specialist packaging machinery at customer sites across the UK. Occasionally, you will travel to machine suppliers over in Italy.
The role will involve diagnosing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and control-system faults, as well as installing, commissioning and upgrading equipment.
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.
