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.
Candidate Requirements
- Degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
- Interest in water, wastewater, utilities or infrastructure
- Good understanding of core civil engineering principles
- Familiarity with engineering design software or digital tools
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Commitment to professional development and working towards Chartership
Why Apply?
This Graduate Civil Engineer role offers structured development within a growing water consultancy rather than simply a first job. The salary is GBP28,000 - GBP34,000, alongside Chartership support, discretionary bonus, pension, 25 days holiday, life insurance, professional membership and flexible working.
