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.
Key Responsibilities & Duties
- Assisting with the ongoing drawing transition from AutoCAD to EPLAN, working with the rest of the Automation Department to agree on methods of working and drawing standards

- Ensure all electrical drawings are updated promptly throughout the life cycle of the project and shared with all relevant departments
- Maintain a database of preferred electrical devices to ensure consistency in functional hardware from project to project.
This is just a summed–up list, and other duties will be required.
Experience & Skills Needed
- Formal Electrical Engineering Qualification (e.g. apprenticeship)
- Experience in a similar Electrical Design–based role
- Knowledge of EPLAN P8 and Pro Panel 3D is a necessity.
- Flexibility and curiosity with a willingness to learn and apply themselves to areas with which they are not familiar
