Are you a recent Engineering graduate looking to kick-start your career within a thriving manufacturing environment?

This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience, collaborate with experienced engineers, and develop technical and professional skills in a supportive business environment.

- Contribute to projects focused on improving manufacturing processes, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting the introduction of new products into production.
- Work in a varied role with exposure to production, quality, process improvement, and continuous improvement initiatives.
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.
