Machine Operator
GESIPA® UK Ltd | Keighley, Bradford
Full Time | Permanent
Do you have a naturally mechanical mind? Do you enjoy solving problems, working with machinery, and learning new skills? If you're curious, hands-on, and thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, we'd love to hear from you.
We're looking for a Machine Operator to join our manufacturing team at GESIPA in Keighley, Bradford. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with machinery, takes pride in producing high-quality products, and is keen to develop their technical skills.
Your Tasks
As a Machine Operator, you'll be responsible for setting up and operating production machinery to manufacture products that meet quality and customer requirements. You'll work closely with colleagues across production, quality, and technical teams to ensure operations run smoothly and efficiently.
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.
