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 within Defence, Aerospace, Avionics, Space, Radar, Electronic Warfare, Communications or other safety-critical engineering environments would be particularly relevant. Knowledge of standards such as DO-254 would also be advantageous.
Security Clearance
Due to the nature of the projects, some opportunities will require existing SC or DV clearance, while others may be open to candidates who are eligible to obtain UK security clearance.
