Permanent

A great opportunity for an experienced, hands-on Multi-Skilled Mechanical Fitter to join a high-quality machinery manufacturer with a view to taking on a supervisory role. Excellent permanent employee benefits include bonus scheme, pension, private healthcare (contributory), supportive and friendly team where your contribution genuinely matters, working on varied, interesting projects across multiple industries and real progression opportunities in a stable, growing business

This Multi-Skilled Mechanical Fitter role is ideal for someone who takes real pride in precision engineering, enjoys varied mechanical assembly work, and is confident carrying out basic electrical tasks during machine build. You'll be part of a small, fast-paced engineering team producing high-quality machinery where accuracy, fit, finish, and attention to detail are absolutely essential. The role is predominantly mechanical, but you'll also support basic electrical wiring and testing as part of the build process.

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.
