Manufacturing Engineer – Production

We’re partnering with a well-established engineering organisation that is driving innovation across a diverse portfolio of projects. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled Manufacturing Engineer to join a collaborative team and make a real impact on production quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

🔧 The Role

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll:

  • Develop and optimise Methods of Manufacture (MOM) for new and existing products
  • Drive improvements in quality and lead-time through proactive process optimisation
  • Assess new technologies and contribute to a strategic capability acquisition plan
  • Resolve non-conformances and eliminate root causes using structured problem-solving tools
  • Apply quality management techniques such as PFMEA, SPC, and MSA
  • Collaborate closely with technicians and project teams to enhance production processes
  • Create training packs and define best practices to support continuous improvement

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.
