MCFT is continuing to expand across the UK and internationally, and we are now seeking motivated, capable individuals who are ready to step into future leadership and commercial management roles. This structured programme is designed for people with early career leadership experience who want to accelerate their development and ultimately take on responsibility within an MCFT territory team or support our growing UK operations.
If you thrive on challenge, enjoy working to goals, and want a career that offers both progression and adventure, this programme could be the ideal next step.
The Programme
Initially you will be based in the UK, gaining experience of MCFT’s core business with an overall focus on Business Development. You will gain good working knowledge across operations, scheduling, finance, commercial activity, customer engagement and people leadership.
Alongside this hands-on exposure, you will complete a structured MCFT Talent Accelerator Curriculum, focused on:
Understanding how a technical service business operates Using data and KPIs to guide decisions Developing commercial awareness Building and leading effective teams Analysing markets and contributing to strategic planning
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The training is entirely MCFT-focused, designed to give you the specific operational, commercial and financial knowledge required to quickly make an impact—whether within an existing territory, a new market, or as part of our ongoing UK expansion.
Successful completion of the programme opens up opportunities to progress into leadership positions either overseas or within the UK, depending on business needs and your strengths.

Take ownership of meaningful projects that directly influence business performance Achieve business development targets, creating high converting lead generation opportunities and new business pipeline. Contribute ideas, insights and solutions that drive improvement Collaborate with managers, engineers, coordinators and commercial teams Demonstrate the behaviours and mindset needed to become a future MCFT leader
This is a practical, high-responsibility development route within an ambitious, growing SME—not a standard graduate or rotation scheme.
