Due to increased demand, Forth Valley College is seeking an experienced engineering professional to teach Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering to learners across SCQF levels 5-7.

About The Role
You will deliver high-quality learning, teaching and assessment in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Depending on your expertise and business need, subjects may include hand fitting, mechanical maintenance, health and safety, and related NC units. You will create effective learning and assessment materials, support awarding-body quality processes and work with colleagues to keep the curriculum relevant and current.
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.
