PURPOSE

The Regional Head of Planning & Production is accountable for leading the planning and production functions across a portfolio of Service Centres, ensuring safe, efficient, and commercially effective operations that consistently deliver customer commitments.

Acting as the critical link between National Planning and Regional Operations, the role translates business demand into integrated operational plans, balancing production capacity, labour, transport, installation, materials, and modular fleet availability to maximise operational performance.

The role provides strategic leadership across regional planning, production, refurbishment and configuration activities, driving operational excellence through disciplined planning, performance management, continuous improvement and collaborative leadership. Working closely with Operations, Commercial, Transport, Installation, Supply Chain and National Planning teams, the Regional Head ensures that regional capability aligns with customer demand while optimising productivity, asset utilisation and service performance.

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.
