We employ people who share our core values. We expect our people to be courageous, trustworthy, and conscientious, driven by a desire to do the right thing. We strive for excellence, work collaboratively, and are genuinely excited by our work.

We offer opportunities for our people to develop beyond their role and span a multitude of disciplines. These are open to all, regardless of background and experience level. Working with us means being part of a team that is harnessing technology and creativity to disrupt a traditional industry.

We are not your average workplace.


The Mechanical Assembly Engineer

The Mechanical Assembly Engineer plays a critical role in building high-quality mechanical systems and structures that are ready for seamless integration, test, and deployment. You will take engineering intent — drawings, BOMs, and specifications — and turn it into precise, reliable, right-first-time mechanical builds that underpin safe and consistent product delivery.

Please note: this is not a design role

This Role Combines

  • Hands-on mechanical assembly (building frames, enclosures, sub-assemblies, and fitted components to defined standards)
  • Cross-disciplinary integration (working closely with electrical technicians to ensure clean, serviceable, mechanically sound installations)
  • Quality-driven production support (maintaining workmanship standards, identifying issues early, and supporting rework or retrofit activities)

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

You will ensure that every mechanical build is completed accurately, safely, and consistently — not just assembled, but assembled correctly, with the care and attention that prevents downstream issues and protects delivery performance.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys practical, hands-on engineering, takes pride in build quality, and thrives in a production environment where precision, teamwork, and methodical execution matter every day.


What You Will Be Doing

  • Assemble mechanical structures and sub-assemblies
    • Build frames, enclosures, modules, and mechanical interfaces using engineering drawings, detail views, and BOMs to guide accurate, repeatable assembly
  • Fit mechanical components with precision
    • Install bearings, shafts, brackets, seals, guards, fasteners, and panels, ensuring correct alignment, torque, and clearances
  • Carry out core workshop operations
    • Perform drilling, tapping, torquing, alignment, and basic adjustments using hand tools, power tools, and workshop equipment safely and correctly
  • Support mechanical–electrical integration
    • Work closely with electrical technicians to integrate looms, panels, and equipment, ensuring mechanical interfaces are correct and access for service and test is maintained
  • Maintain quality, safety, and compliance
    • Build to defined workmanship standards, follow EHS procedures, and identify drawing issues, missing parts, or non-conformances early
  • Support production and delivery activities
    • Assist with rework, retrofit, packaging, preparation, and installation tasks, feeding back issues to Manufacturing Engineering to improve designs and instructions
