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.
The role requires participation in an out of hour’s standby rota. We will ensure that you have the relevant training and experience required to do this. Additional payments are made for standby, callouts and any additional hours worked.
At Northumbrian Water Group we recognise potential, offering a tailored training package, development, and growth opportunities for people to progress internally. With our committed leadership and close-knit teams, you will never be short of support in your role.
About You
You will be a time served Electrical Technician educated to at least ONC/NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical Engineering.

You will be experienced in reading and finding faults from electrical drawings, identifying the source and replacing faulty components.
We are looking for candidates with a can-do attitude, willingness to learn and explore new ways of working. A hands-on practical approach and keen eye for identifying the root cause whilst investigating problems and implementing solutions is essential in this role.
