Maintenance Engineer

Cambridgeshire

Monday-Friday, DAYS ONLY

Expected Earnings Over £50,000


Get Off Shifts. Get Your Evenings Back. Enjoy a Better Work-Life Balance.

The Collective Network are supporting a well-established food manufacturing group with over a century of industry presence and a strong reputation for quality, development, and continuous improvement.

This opportunity is ideal for engineers who are ready to step away from shift patterns and move into a stable days-based engineering role with long-term career prospects and a genuinely supportive culture.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Straight days - no nights, no rotating shifts
  • A culture focused on developing people & investing in site improvements
  • Overtime paid at x1.5
  • Opportunity to work in a small, collaborative team where you can make an impact

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.
