Job Description
Harbron Recruit is looking for an experienced Painter & Decorator / Paint Sprayer to join a leading niche construction company on ongoing projects in Exeter. This role will involve working alongside specialist fire stopping teams, applying intumescent coatings to structural steel and other surfaces. Previous paint spraying experience is essential. Experience with intumescent coatings is desirable but not essential, as training can be provided for the right candidate.
This is an excellent opportunity to secure long-term work with a well-established contractor.
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.
