Site Manager
FMCG | Milton Keynes | Contract | £450 to £700 per day (negotiable for the right candidate)
We are working with a Principal Contractor on an engineering upgrade programme at a major FMCG production facility in Milton Keynes. Two site managers are needed to start as soon as possible.
This is a live production environment. The work involves installation of new lines, power, equipment, and associated services. The candidate needs to be comfortable working around an operational site — coordinating with production, managing permits, and keeping work moving safely without disrupting the facility.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The right background is engineering or process manufacturing rather than construction. Experience in food and drink, drink, or similar process environments is ideal. Agricultural or heavy engineering backgrounds will be considered. Pure construction site management without process industry experience is unlikely to be suitable.
You will need:
- Proven site management experience in a live FMCG, food and drink, or process manufacturing environment
- SMSTS as a minimum
- CSCS card
- Experience managing subcontractors and supply chain on engineering installation projects
- Strong understanding of permit to work systems and live-site protocols
