Crewe- Regional Patch
Are you a Heavy Plant Engineer or similar looking for a highly autonomous role where you can manage your own workload, have flexibility around your working hours, and receive specialist training on agricultural machinery?
This well-established, family-run machinery business provides sales, servicing and repair solutions to customers across Cheshire and the surrounding regions. Working with a range of leading machinery brands, the business has a strong reputation for supporting customers with heavy plant, tractors, loaders and agricultural equipment.
In this role, you will have a high level of autonomy, travelling to customer sites across a regional patch to service, diagnose and repair a range of heavy plant machinery. You will have flexibility around your working hours depending on customer requirements, while receiving manufacturer-specific training to broaden your knowledge of agricultural machinery and develop your career within the sector.
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.
