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.
About the Role
This is a hands-on maintenance position supporting a busy manufacturing operation, carrying out planned maintenance, responding to breakdowns and helping improve equipment reliability across the site. You'll be working on a variety of production machinery while contributing to continuous improvement projects and helping keep production running efficiently.
Who We're Looking For
The hiring manager isn't expecting you to know everything from day one. They're looking for someone with the right attitude—someone who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in their work and wants to continue developing their engineering skills.
You'll ideally have:
- A recognised Mechanical or Electrical Engineering qualification
- Experience within manufacturing, FMCG or industrial maintenance
- Good electrical and mechanical fault-finding skills
- A proactive approach and willingness to learn
- A team-first mentality and a positive attitude
- Experience with PLCs, food manufacturing or maintenance systems is beneficial, but if you're eager to learn, you'll be supported every step of the way.
