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.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop an outcome-led integration strategy and roadmap encompassing:
- APIs, events, batch processing, OT/IT integration, and legacy platforms
- Deliver integration change end-to-end: predictable, high quality with real business value alignment
- Govern and optimise integration platforms, such as MuleSoft, BizTalk, SSIS, FME, and specialist tooling
- Prioritise the integration backlog, balancing regulatory commitments, operational resilience, and transformation
- Ensure integrity, movement, and quality of operational data across external systems
- Integrate IoT, telemetry, and SCADA data for near-real-time operational insight

Experience Required
- Proven ability to own enterprise integration in a multi-system, regulated environment (preferably utilities or infrastructure).
- Strong expertise in strategy → build → live service → optimisation.
- Experience managing mixed legacy and modern integration estates, with systems transformation.
- Confidence leading multi-team, multi-supplier models.
- Deep understanding of integration architecture, governance, and operational data management.
- Skilled at prioritisation and investment decisions under pressure.
