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.
You’ll suit this role if you’ve worked in a managed hosting, public cloud, private cloud or enterprise data centre environment and enjoy being close to the infrastructure.
The team needs someone organised, calm under pressure and comfortable working independently, while still being able to communicate clearly with internal teams, customers and external providers.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience across server, storage and network deployment, break-fix support, data centre power/cooling basics and DCIM tooling would be highly relevant. Experience with NLyte, hyperscale cloud environments or structured cabling design/deployment would be a strong bonus.
You’ll need a full UK driving licence and access to your own car, as some travel will be required. Where travel is by train or flight, this will be covered by company expenses.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the operational side of data centres, takes pride in clean, accurate environments, and wants to be part of a business delivering high-quality managed services into secure customer estates.
