About You
Are you curious about how land, water and people interact, and how data and numerical modelling can reveal how they work?
You might be an engineer, environmental scientist, hydrologist, or data analyst, but above all, you’re someone who wants to use technology to make a difference.
You thrive on analysing complex catchment systems, stormwater, and infrastructure networks to create better outcomes for communities. Are you motivated by turning data into decisions that protect people and the environment? If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
What we’re looking for
Relevant experience in hydrology, hydraulics, catchment science, and/or engineering (experience will determine if you are brought in at a Junior, Intermediate, or Senior level).
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.
Degree in engineering, environmental science, earth science, hydrology, or data science.
Proficiency with tools such as ICM, TUFLOW, and MIKE by DHI, with flexibility to adapt to different platforms.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
Interest in spatial and environmental data applications (GIS, Python a bonus).
Excellent communication and teamwork skills across disciplines and locations.
Above all, you need to be passionate about water and bring curiosity and strengths in spatial, planning, environmental, or infrastructure contexts.
