PLANT FITTER / PLANT MECHANIC - Join one of the UK's largest independent equipment hire companies!
Waltham Abbey | £33,000 - £40,000+ DOE | Monday-Friday
Are you an experienced mechanic looking for a fresh challenge? Whether your background is in plant, HGV, agricultural machinery or automotive, this could be the perfect opportunity to join a leading national equipment hire business with genuine long-term career prospects.
Working from a busy workshop, you'll be responsible for servicing, maintaining and repairing a wide range of plant equipment, ensuring machines are safe, reliable and ready to go back out on hire. You'll work on everything from excavators, dumpers and rollers to compressors, pressure washers and other construction equipment, meaning no two days are ever the same.
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.
