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.

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.

What will you actually be doing?

As a Manufacturing Operative, you'll be trained to manufacture specialist components where quality, accuracy and attention to detail really matter.

It's a Varied, Hands-on Role That Will Include:

  • Setting and programming machinery to produce precision copper coils
  • Winding different gauges of copper wire onto components
  • Working with small and intricate parts
  • Carrying out electrical testing and quality inspections
  • Soldering, crimping and moulding components
  • Using hand tools and specialist production equipment
  • Following technical drawings and detailed work instructions
  • Checking your finished work to ensure it meets quality standards
  • Accurately recording completed production work using company systems

This is precision manufacturing rather than high-speed production, so it will really suit someone who enjoys concentrating on a task and takes pride in producing high-quality work.

Who are we looking for?

You could be a great fit if you have previous experience within assembly, manufacturing, production or a similar hands-on environment.

We're Particularly Interested In People Who:

  • Have excellent attention to detail
  • Have good manual dexterity and enjoy practical work
  • Are comfortable working with small or intricate components
  • Can confidently use basic hand tools
  • Can follow technical drawings and written instructions
  • Have basic IT skills
  • Take pride in the quality of their work
  • Are reliable, patient and willing to learn something new

Ready for something different?

This isn't just another production job.

It's an opportunity to learn a specialist skill, work for an established manufacturer and potentially secure a permanent position - all while enjoying a four-day working week and every Friday off.
