Service Engineer | Packaging Automation - M62 Corridor | Central UK
Most service engineer adverts sound exactly the same.
This one doesn’t.
I’m working with one of Europe’s most respected automation manufacturers.
Their equipment isn’t found in every factory.
Their engineers aren’t expected to race from breakdown to breakdown.
Instead, they’re trusted to support sophisticated automation used by many of the UK’s leading food and consumer goods manufacturers.
If you’re the sort of engineer who enjoys solving problems properly rather than simply getting machines running again, we’ll probably have a good conversation.
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.

If you’ve reached the point where you’d rather work for a business recognised for engineering excellence than simply another machinery manufacturer, I’d be pleased to have a confidential conversation.
I’ve specialised exclusively in packaging machinery and industrial automation for over 25 years. I know this company well, I’ve successfully introduced engineers into the business before, and I’ll happily tell you both the positives and the challenges before you ever attend an interview.
