Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Are you a Press Brake Setter or similar looking to join a growing manufacturer offering a stable, days-based role with overtime and an early Friday finish?
Established in the 2010s as part of a larger engineering group, this company designs and manufactures bespoke fabricated products for a range of sectors, including agriculture and motorsport. Due to increasing demand, they are looking to strengthen their workshop team.
In this workshop-based role, you will be responsible for setting, operating, and programming press brakes to produce sheet metal components to specification from engineering drawings. You will work with materials including mild steel, aluminium, and stainless-steel ranging from 0.9mm to 10mm thickness, with regular overtime available to boost your earnings.
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.
