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.

We're looking for someone who:
- Has a proven track record leading complex programmes and major infrastructure or construction projects

- Can build effective partnerships across public and private sectors
