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.
Experience of construction stage delivery would be an advantage but not essential.
Previous project/commercial management is not required for this role as we have dedicated Project Managers to allow a technical focus on projects.
We would welcome applicants of Senior Level and above and we can flex salary based on grade and experience. Start date is flexible.
