We're looking for an experienced planning and manufacturing leader to oversee production planning, inventory, and subcontract manufacturing within a fast-paced engineering and manufacturing environment.

You'll be responsible for ensuring customer orders are delivered on time, coordinating production schedules, managing material availability, and working closely with suppliers and internal teams to maintain efficient operations. You'll also lead a team of planners, drive continuous improvement initiatives, and support supply chain resilience.

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.
