Enniskillen

Are you an Operative looking for a long-term, stable, days-based role, joining a market-leading company who will look after you, offering a 4 day work week and fantastic work life balance?

On offer is the opportunity to join a thriving manufacturing powerhouse based across Scotland and Northern Ireland. For over 100 years, they have provided a range of premium products to blue-chip industries across the UK and Ireland.

This role will involve operating the company's timber processing machinery. You will be involved with setup, basic maintenance (training provided), and inspection of finished goods. This is a friendly and sociable team where your days will fly by.

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.
