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.
We're looking for someone with
- Experience managing operational teams within a fast-paced environment

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- A practical, hands-on leadership style
- A passion for operational excellence and continuous improvement
Experience within autonomous vehicles is not essential. We welcome applications from experienced leaders across fleet operations, transport, logistics, aviation, rail, emergency services, automotive, engineering and other safety-critical industries.
