Mechanical Fitter

Long-Term Contract until December 2027

Monday to Friday 7:30am - 3:30pm 40 Hours Per Week

We're looking for an experienced Mechanical Fitter to join a busy team working on vehicle, bogie and rail overhauls. If you've got the hands-on skills, a great eye for detail, and enjoy working on large-scale engineering projects, we want to hear from you!

What You'll Be Doing

As a Mechanical Fitter, you'll be:

  • Stripping, rebuilding and fitting mechanical components
  • Working on large vehicle and coach overhaul projects
  • Reading and interpreting engineering drawings and schematics
  • Using hand and power tools to cut, fit, assemble and modify components
  • Carrying out quality checks to ensure everything lines up perfectly
  • Following Health & Safety procedures and maintaining a safe workshop environment

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.
