The successful candidate will play a key role in improving the stability, security and performance of the infrastructure estate, with a particular focus on VMware, server patching, network infrastructure and vulnerability remediation.

  • Maintain and support Windows Server 2016 and 2019 environments
  • Work within Oracle Linux and legacy Linux environments
  • Investigate and resolve infrastructure issues to minimise operational risk
  • Support infrastructure hardening, upgrade and resilience initiatives
  • Collaborate with internal teams and third-party providers including network and connectivity suppliers

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
