  • Compile, maintain, and review laboratory records, reports, notebooks, and quality documentation in accordance with quality system and design control requirements.
  • Analyse data, interpret results, and generate scientifically sound conclusions and recommendations.
  • Prepare technical summaries, reports, protocols, and presentations for internal stakeholders.
  • Apply scientific problem-solving techniques to support investigations and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure project and departmental objectives are achieved.
  • Support project planning, execution, and timeline management where appropriate.
  • Contribute to test method development and characterization activities as required.
  • Share knowledge and provide guidance, training, or mentoring to colleagues where appropriate.
  • Support compliance activities including CAPA, Change Control, document management, and quality system requirements.
  • Maintain compliance with all Corporate, Divisional, Quality, Health & Safety, and Regulatory requirements.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned by management.

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.
