We're keen to speak with experienced Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineers who have a strong mechanical and/or electrical background and enjoy working in fast-paced manufacturing environments.

  • Diagnosing and repairing faults across production machinery
  • Supporting continuous improvement and reliability initiatives

  • Completing maintenance documentation and updating maintenance systems
  • Supporting equipment upgrades, installations and improvement projects where required

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 β€” 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 β€” that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
