About Universal Wolf
We are leaders in complex metal fabrication, and our business is growing. We work within a broad range of customer types and make a wide variety of products.
Our colleagues tell us this is why they love working at Universal Wolf: no two days are the same, the work is interesting and different.
We are a pack where passion, persistence, and people matter. Where talent, trust, and teams thrive. Because for us, it’s more than work. It’s who we are.
The key to the success of our team is that colleagues share common values. For us, it's not just a job; it’s who we are. We live the company values of a “Better” “Smarter” “Pack”
We want people to join our team who really want to be part of our continued growth, so we are recruiting for general operators to join our team. Our working week is 38.5 hours, and if you are looking for a good work-life balance, you will also have the opportunity to work a 4-day week!
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.
