About The Role

We are looking for practical, motivated team players to join our onsite manufacturing team in Loughborough. In this entry-level role, you will start by packing chemical containers and outer packaging.

  • Equipment Operation: Use manual and automatic packaging equipment, including filling and labeling machines.
  • Quality Checks: Use weighing and measuring equipment to ensure batches are accurate. Double-check that batch numbers and chemical codes match the paperwork.
  • Warehouse Prep: Palletize, strap, and stretch-wrap finished goods to make sure they are safe to transport to the warehouse.
  • Safety and Compliance: Follow all safety rules (including COSHH, waste handling, and manual handling guidelines) and wear your provided safety gear.
  • Workspace Upkeep: Keep your work area clean and tidy (5S standards) and assist with basic routine maintenance on equipment.

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.
