Manufacturing Maintenance Engineer (Training on PLC's)

£41,000 - £46,000 (50K OTE) + 3 on 3 off Shift Pattern + Days only + Funded Training + Progression + Overtime

Oswestry, Shropshire

Are you a Maintenance Engineer from a manufacturing background looking for the opportunity to work on and learn how to work and fault-find PLC Controlled automated machinery?

Do you want to work a 3-on-3-off shift pattern, working on a recently updated and installed manufacturing line?

On offer is the opportunity to join a growing company that manufactures 55 million units a year ready to be distributed to multiple big high-street names. This company has gone from strength to strength since they were founded in 2008 and are looking to add to their maintenance team due to an ever-increasing workload.

In this role you will be fault-finding and carrying out planned, preventative and reactive maintenance on blow molding machines, packing machines and wrapping machines. This will be mostly electrical work, with some reactive mechanical maintenance when needed. Training can be given on PLC fault-finding, and additional support through qualifications.

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.
