Job Role of the Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Multi Skilled Maintenance Engineer to join a well-established food manufacturing business with a strong reputation across the UK retail and catering sectors. This fast-paced production site manufactures mayonnaise, pasta sauces, chutneys, salad dressings, and pastes for major retailers including Tesco, Lidl, Asda, and Morrisons.

The business has invested heavily into its manufacturing operation, operating multiple bottling lines, cooking vessels, and automated production equipment. This role is ideal for an engineer looking to work within a busy and supportive engineering team where no two days are the same.

You will be responsible for both electrical and mechanical maintenance, responding to breakdowns, completing planned preventative maintenance, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives across site machinery.

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.
