Job Introduction
We're now recruiting Building Maintenance Engineers to join the Engineering and Facilities team at our brand-new Distribution Centre in Doncaster. This is a unique opportunity to be part of one of the UK's largest distribution centre developments, joining the site during its construction and commissioning phases before operations begin.
Reporting to the Building Maintenance Manager, you'll work closely with Technicians, contractors, and automation partners to prepare the site for operational handover. Supporting commissioning activities, developing maintenance strategies, and helping establish engineering standards and processes, you'll play a key role in creating a safe, reliable, and high-performing operation from day one.
Reasons to use Rodeo

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.

Working as part of a skilled Engineering and Facilities team, you'll contribute to a culture of continuous improvement while helping shape the future of maintenance within one of the UK's most advanced automated distribution centres.
