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.
No previous experience is needed — just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to learn.
Your training
You will study the Level 3 Electrical Installation Apprenticeship (up to 5 years) at Birmingham Electrical Training College or a similar provider, attending college one day a week while gaining hands-on experience for the rest of the week.
Once you successfully complete your apprenticeship, you will be able to apply for permanent roles within PPC. We have a strong track record of offering permanent employment to our apprentices, and we'll continue to support your development as you progress.
What We're Looking For
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- GCSE Grade 4 or above (or equivalent) in English and Maths
- Good communication skills
- Strong organisation and time management
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- The ability to work well in a team
- A commitment to delivering great customer service
A full driving licence is ideal — but not essential to start. Because the role is mobile, you will need to work towards achieving this.
You should also live in or close to Worcester, as this is where the team is based. Unfortunately if you do not live in this area we are unable to progress your application.
