Part-Time Technical Manager
Remote | Organic Food Manufacturing | £25,000 - £35,000 | Approx. 2.5 Days Per Week
Not everyone wants the next big career move.
Some people want to use the experience they've spent years building, but on terms that suit them.
Maybe you're looking to wind things down. Maybe you're semi-retired. Maybe you want something that fits around family life. Or maybe you're simply done with 50-hour weeks.
I'm working with a growing food manufacturer that's looking for an experienced Technical Manager to take ownership of its technical and quality function on a part-time basis.
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.

- Investigating customer complaints, non-conformances and quality issues
- Reviewing specifications, artwork and technical documentation
- Acting as the technical lead for the business
This is a remote role, with occasional travel to manufacturing partners, suppliers and certification visits (expenses covered).
