Job Description

Some Technical roles give you one small part of the job. This one gives you exposure to almost all of it.

Specifications. Auditing. Complaints. Food safety. Raw materials. Supplier approval. Testing. Customers.

If you're building a career in food Technical and want broader experience, this is a strong opportunity to do exactly that.

Working as part of an established Technical team, you'll support the day-to-day systems that keep products safe, legal and compliant.

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.
