About The Job

Our production facility is the heart of our business and it relies on great people to make sure it runs safely and efficiently. We pack our produce for supermarkets and we're really proud of the reputation we've built for maintaining high standards.

Our Production Lead Operators (Team Leaders) make a big contribution to that reputation by taking responsibility for the management and performance of a designated packing line. Quality standards and target work rates must be met, and customer orders completed on time and in full. You'll need to train and manage your line's team on the production procedures, working practices and company policies. You will also need to provide initial training and supervision for temporary staff. Communicating and enforcing our standards in health, safety and hygiene is also key.

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.
