Job Role of the Shift Maintenance Engineer
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Shift Maintenance Engineer to join a growing FMCG manufacturer in the Wrexham area. You'll be joining an established engineering team responsible for keeping a busy production facility running efficiently, carrying out both planned maintenance and reactive fault finding across a wide range of automated machinery.
The role offers plenty of variety, from responding to breakdowns and identifying root causes through to supporting equipment improvements and wider engineering projects. This would suit a genuinely multi-skilled engineer who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems and working within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Non-Negotiable Requirements of the Shift Maintenance Engineer
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.
