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.
The consultancy already delivers work across residential, regeneration, commercial, industrial, infrastructure and DCO projects, providing genuine breadth and long-term career development.
Associate Director or Technical Director?
The business is genuinely open to appointing at either level.
For an Associate Director, there isn't an expectation that you'll arrive with an established client following. Instead, they're looking for someone with strong technical capability, commercial awareness and the ambition to develop into a future leader.
For a Technical Director, there is genuine scope to shape the commercial direction of the team, influence strategy and play a significant role in its continued growth.
Why Join?
- A genuine pathway into leadership and profit share.
- A collaborative leadership team that actively invests in people's development.
- The opportunity to influence a growing business without unnecessary hierarchy.
- A multidisciplinary environment.
- A consultancy with a strong pipeline, ambitious growth plans and the freedom to develop new ideas and services.

- Consultancy experience within the planning, development or infrastructure sectors.
- Strong project delivery and client management skills.
- Experience mentoring colleagues or leading small teams.
