Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer
£40,000 - £45,000 + Overtime + Training
Newmarket, Suffolk
Are you a Maintenance Engineer, Electrical Maintenance Engineer, or similar and ideally from a manufacturing background, looking to join an established company offering overtime, training, and the opportunity to work on a wide range of production machinery and site equipment?
On offer is the opportunity to join a well-established packaging manufacturer where you will work alongside machine operators and the maintenance team to keep machinery, site assets, and facilities running safely and efficiently. You will play a key role in reducing downtime, improving uptime, and supporting the production of high-quality packaging within a busy manufacturing environment.
In this varied role, you will carry out planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs, fault finding, machinery repairs, fitting, assembly, and general building maintenance. You will work closely with machine operators, production teams, and the wider maintenance department, helping to fit parts, identify faults, offer solutions, and ensure preventative maintenance schedules are followed.
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.
