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.
What You Will Do
- Own the full bid lifecycle, managing multiple concurrent tenders from initial qualification through to submission and post-tender feedback.
- Craft high-quality technical, social value, and service delivery responses that translate complex engineering details into high-scoring content.
- Develop and maintain a robust content library, evidence base, and social value framework to ensure consistent excellence in every submission.
The ideal candidate
- Proven track record in managing and writing UK public sector bids, specifically within the framework of the Procurement Act 2023.
- Exceptional written English skills with the discipline to meet strict word limits and technical requirements while maintaining a persuasive narrative.
- Experience navigating e-tendering portals and coordinating with technical specialists to extract the data needed for winning bids.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
