What does a Logistics Planner Technician Apprenticeship Scheme involve day to day?

You’ll be working with local and international suppliers to ensure materials are delivered, at the right quality at the right time, and within the right timeframe, for machines to be built. You’ll love developing relationships with both internal and external stakeholders, finding solutions when problems arise, and always looking for a better way to do the job. Real, problem solving, negotiating, learned in an accessible, practical way designed to get you thinking creatively about all our processes.
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.
