Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

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.
On top of that, you’ll have:
- Completed a minimum of 2 years in either a bachelor's or master's degree, either in Mechanical Engineering or a similar related subject (BEng, BSc, Meng, MSc).
- Good problem-solving skills.
- Creative and technical thinking.
- Ability to demonstrate evidence of research and information gathering skills.
- An interest in engineering within the Infrastructure or Energy market.
- Some design coursework available if requested.
