Production Manager

This Production Manager role offers a relocation package, car allowance, double figure pension contribution, and annual bonus. The business is a well-established manufacturing organisation, looking for a candidate that wants to add value to the business in the long term and implement real change.

This is a hands-on leadership position suited to someone who combines strong operational expertise with a genuine ability to lead people. You’ll be responsible for ensuring manufacturing runs safely, efficiently, and to the required quality standards, while identifying opportunities to improve processes, performance, and overall site effectiveness.

Working closely with teams across the business, the Production Manager will have an important role in maintaining high operational standards and supporting the site's continued development.

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.
