Location: Menston Salary: £43,000 Shift: Days
We are recruiting for a Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to join a well-established manufacturing business in Menston. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced mechanical maintenance professional to join a stable site and play a key role in maintaining the reliability and efficiency of production equipment.
Job Role
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for carrying out both planned and reactive maintenance across a busy manufacturing environment.

The role will involve mechanical fault finding, planned preventative maintenance, breakdown response, and supporting continuous improvement across the site.
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.
