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.
This would be an ideal second role for someone who has gained solid hands-on experience in their first lab position and is ready for a step up.
The Role
- Perform GC analysis independently to productivity and quality specifications
- Carry out routine maintenance and performance checks on instrumentation, reporting faults promptly
- Maintain good laboratory practice and compliance with UKAS (ISO 17025) and MCERTS requirements
- Keep accurate records - batch sheets, equipment logs, training records and quality documentation
- Support quality investigations: PT results, QC charts, issues log and limit reviews
- Assist with training new team members as you develop

About You
- Some commercial lab experience - perhaps 1–2 years into your career and looking for your next move
- Hands-on GC experience (environmental, water, food or industrial QC backgrounds all welcome)
- Understanding of UKAS/ISO 17025 working practices
- Organised, quality-focused and comfortable in a busy environment
