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 will also contribute to traffic and parking schemes, including:
- Assisting with budgets and financial reporting
- Preparing certificates, final accounts, and cost statements
- Supporting the successful delivery of commissioned works
The role requires:

- Experience working with budgets and financial reporting
- A background in highways, traffic, or parking services
- The ability to work collaboratively with staff at all levels
