We are currently working with an established and growing manufacturing business based in Birmingham, who are looking to bring an experienced Manufacturing Engineer into the team on a contract basis.
This will suit a candidate with exposure having worked within a busy fast paced manufacturing environment (ideally automotive), supporting production, improving processes and ensuring robust manufacturing and quality standards are maintained.
The successful engineer will have strong experience across manufacturing engineering, PFMEA, quality and technical documentation, and will be comfortable in an autonomous and rewarding role.

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.
