Are you a Service Engineer or similar who's worked on Forklift Trucks?
Do you want a role where you'll be working stable hours with no overtime, giving you better work/life balance?
In this role you'll be responsible for routine service and maintenance of a variety of diesel and electric forklift trucks. Training can be provided on electric trucks if you haven't worked on them before. All the jobs will be in a commutable patch, and the company are very flexible with early finishes.
This longstanding company pride themselves on a great reputation. With clients large and small, they have plenty of work in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas. The work is routine servicing, with no call outs outside of normal hours. They are an independent business and very welcoming, allowing flexibility that larger companies can't offer.
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.
