Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What's the role really about?
This is much more than simply picking up escalations.
You'll become a trusted technical contact for your customers, taking ownership of issues from start to finish and making sure they're resolved properly.
One day you could be troubleshooting Microsoft 365.
The next, investigating server issues, resolving networking problems, or helping a customer get back online after an unexpected outage.
No two days are quite the same.
What you'll be doing
- Providing 2nd line technical support across a broad range of customer environments
- Troubleshooting Microsoft 365, Windows, server, networking, and cloud-related issues
- Taking ownership of incidents and service requests through to resolution
- Supporting users remotely and occasionally onsite when required
- Creating and maintaining clear technical documentation
- Working closely with colleagues to share knowledge and resolve more complex issues
- Delivering a high standard of customer service on every interaction
- Continuously developing your technical knowledge across new technologies
What you'll bring
- Experience in a 2nd line IT support role
- Good knowledge of Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft 365 and Windows environments
- Understanding of Windows Server, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and networking fundamentals
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills
- Excellent communication and customer service skills
- A proactive approach and genuine sense of ownership

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience within an MSP would be beneficial, but it isn't essential. If you've developed strong 2nd line skills in an internal IT environment and enjoy working across a broad range of technologies, we'd still love to hear from you.
The kind of person who'll thrive here
You don't like leaving problems half solved.
You enjoy the challenge of working things out.
You're organized enough to juggle multiple priorities, but calm enough to keep your head when something urgent lands in your queue.
Most importantly...
You care about giving customers a great experience, not just closing another ticket.
Why this role?
Some support roles become repetitive.
This one won't.
You'll work across a varied technology stack, support a wide range of customers, and continue developing your technical skills in a collaborative environment where curiosity and problem-solving are genuinely valued.
If you're looking for a role where you'll keep learning, keep growing, and make a real difference every day, this could be exactly what you're looking for.
