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.

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
