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 Ideal Candidate
- 1-2 years PQE, with previous experience in a construction team or housing practice.
- Experience of non-contentious construction law and standard form construction contracts, along with some exposure to commercial and/or housing development work.
- Good working knowledge of standard form contracts and appointments (JCT, NEC, EPC), their common amendments and market norms.
- Willingness to take on more complex, bespoke agreements and large-scale due diligence exercises with appropriate supervision.
- A genuine interest in the sector, with enthusiasm for developing know-how and contributing to business development.
