The Material Controller will operate within a storage facility supporting a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) & Avionics Top Level Unit manufacturing area.

  • Prepare and kit materials for production in line with the production schedule and ramp-up plans.

Inventory & Stock Control

  • Support periodic cycle counts and stock-take to minimize inventory discrepancies and losses.

Production Support

  • Fulfill all material requests within the assigned shift pattern to avoid line stops and delays.
  • Work closely with Operations, Planning, and Quality to ensure material availability and readiness.

  • Apply problem-solving skills to resolve material-related queries quickly and effectively.
  • Support leadership on process improvement initiatives to reduce turn-around-time (TAT), improve material presentation, and minimize inventory losses.

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.
