About the Job
The Development Technician plays a key role in building, integrating and operating advanced mechanical systems and prototype hardware. This is a hands-on role focused on assembly, modification, testing and deployment — working closely with engineers to bring complex systems from concept through to real-world operation.
You’ll support the build and integration of large, high-performance mechanical and pneumatic systems, helping ensure they are assembled, tested and maintained to a high standard. The role also involves supporting field activities, including work in challenging environments both in the UK and overseas.
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.
