Stockport, Greater Manchester
Are you an HR Manager or similar from a Small-to-Medium size company, looking for a rare opportunity to take full HR ownership in a brand-new position within the UK's leading Aquatic Engineering company, offering 3 days working from home and a progression pathway into Board-level Management?
This is a newly created position within an established and expanding specialist engineering business of around 65 employees. Reporting directly to the Director, you'll work closely with departmental managers across the entire business, taking ownership of day-to-day HR while helping shape how the function develops as the company continues to grow.
The company currently employs around 65 people and has continued to expand year-on-year. With HR responsibilities previously shared between directors and departmental managers, you'll step into a newly created position with genuine autonomy, the opportunity to improve existing processes and exceptional long-term progression, potentially building an HR team around you and progressing towards board level.
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.
