Are you a skilled Maintenance Engineer looking for your next challenge?
We’re looking for an experienced and proactive Maintenance Engineer to join a busy manufacturing environment as part of a core maintenance team.
This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll play a key part in keeping production equipment running safely and efficiently, responding to breakdowns, completing planned preventative maintenance and getting involved in improvement projects that make a real difference to the operation.
If you’re someone who enjoys fault-finding, problem-solving and getting to the root cause of issues - while also having the mechanical and electrical skills to get things back up and running - this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
The Role
Working as part of a close-knit maintenance team, you will:
- Respond quickly and effectively to equipment breakdowns.
- Carry out planned and preventative maintenance.
- Complete proactive and predictive maintenance activities.
- Support continuous improvement and engineering improvement projects.
- Work with the Maintenance Foreman to achieve maintenance objectives and minimise equipment downtime.
- Carry out maintenance tasks independently and use your initiative to resolve problems.
- Maintain and improve production equipment to ensure safe, reliable and efficient operation.
- Complete relevant health, safety and environmental maintenance activities.
- Support maintenance records and update relevant spreadsheets and systems.
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.
