Are you an experienced Production, Manufacturing or Process Engineer looking for a role that offers genuine project ownership, varied engineering challenges, and long-term career progression?

We are recruiting for a Production Engineer to join a well-established manufacturing business operating within a highly automated, advanced manufacturing environment. Working as part of a specialist Production Engineering team, you will play a key role in delivering a diverse range of projects, from new product introduction and equipment implementation through to automation, capacity improvement, and process optimisation initiatives.

  • Creating and updating SOPs, work instructions, and engineering documentation
  • Supporting automation and robotics projects aimed at improving efficiency
  • Collecting and analysing manufacturing data to identify improvement opportunities
  • Investigating production issues and supporting root cause analysis activities
  • Driving cycle time, quality, and productivity improvements
  • Supporting trial builds and the introduction of new equipment and processes
  • Participating in Kaizen and continuous improvement activities across the plant

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.
