- Building and preparing new bikes
- Providing professional advice to customers when required
No two days are quite the same, and the role will suit someone who enjoys working on a variety of bikes and solving mechanical problems.
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.
