Temp to Perm

We are recruiting for a Manufacturing Operative to join a well-established precast concrete manufacturer based in Earls Colne. This is an excellent opportunity to secure a long-term position with a growing business that offers training, development and a permanent opportunity.

Please note: This is a very physically demanding role involving manual handling, working with wet concrete and being on your feet throughout the day. Applicants must be comfortable with heavy, hands-on work in a manufacturing environment.

Duties Will Include

  • Levelling and finishing freshly poured concrete to a high standard
  • Using vibrating poker equipment to remove air pockets and ensure an even concrete finish
  • Shovelling, floating and trowelling concrete to create smooth, consistent surfaces
  • Assisting with the preparation of precast concrete moulds
  • Supporting the crane operative with positioning reinforcement cages into moulds
  • Carrying out quality checks before products are cast
  • Maintaining a clean and organised work area throughout the shift
  • Following health and safety procedures at all times
  • Working as part of the production team to meet daily manufacturing targets

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.
