Manufacturing Engineer | Hands-on Process Improvement | £38,000–£45,000 DOE
A well-established manufacturer in Marden, Kent is looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to make a real impact on the shop floor.
This is a practical, varied role for someone who enjoys improving how products are built. You will work closely with production to streamline assembly, improve tooling and layouts, and help the business build more efficiently.
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.
