- Recording data using business systems to support performance and compliance
- Collaborating with colleagues across shifts to ensure consistent production results
- Taking ownership of line KPIs and driving continuous improvement
- Supporting problem-solving activities and implementing corrective actions
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will be encouraged to build capability across more than one machine to support a flow-to-work approach. A flexible mindset is essential, as you may be required to provide cover during holidays or periods of absence.
About You
We’re looking for individuals who:
- Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic production environment
- Enjoy learning, developing new skills, and working with cutting-edge automation technology

- Work collaboratively as part of a high-performing team
- Are proactive, adaptable, and confident challenging poor practices
- Have strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Are committed to continuous improvement
If you are ready to help shape the future of malts production and join an ambitious, forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you.
