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.
On the fire side, you'll install fire alarm systems across commercial and industrial sites, carry out testing and commissioning, and find and fix faults during handover.
On the security side, you'll deliver installation and project works for CCTV, access control and intruder alarm systems across multiple sites, and carry out testing and support commissioning.
Across all projects, you'll make sure work is completed to programme and to the required standards, complete job paperwork and project documentation accurately and on time, and keep site teams updated on progress.
We offer a competitive salary based on skills and experience, plus paid overtime and a company van. Most work is in Essex, London and the surrounding counties, with occasional travel further afield when projects require it.
