This is an excellent opportunity for someone with at least 1 year’s experience working as a Press Operative within an engineering or manufacturing environment, looking for a long-term position with the potential to become permanent.

The Role

As a Press Operative, you will be responsible for operating press machinery safely and efficiently, producing components to the required quality and specification.

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.
