Job Description
Shift Chemist working Days and Nights 12 hour shifts ( will be on Monday to Friday during training)
We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented QC Chemist to support quality control activities within a manufacturing environment.

You will support production teams with technical expertise, maintain accurate laboratory records, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
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.
