Introduction - What’s special about us
Our partner, BAE Systems, are seeking experienced Sheet Metal Workers to join their growing team in Glasgow on a 12 month contract, offering competitive rates for both locals and those willing to commute from further afield.
As part of a specialist team, you’ll be working on the latest generation of naval frigates (Type 26). If you're interested in learning more about this opportunity, click the apply button now, or read on to find out more.
What will I be doing?
BAE Systems are looking for a talented Sheet Metal Worker to join their team and make your mark in both shop and ship environments.
In the Shop
As a Sheet Metal Worker, you'll oversee the fabrication of ventilation systems like spiral and box vents, and the creation of sheet metal furniture, including lockers and cabinets, all based on detailed drawings. You’ll use a range of hand tools and mechanical equipment to deliver precision and quality in the metal work you complete.
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.
