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.
This role does not offer sponsorship or international relocation packages. We would consider relocation from elsewhere in the UK.
The Role
The core of the job is supporting and developing the company's ERP system, built on Infor BPCS. You'll maintain and extend a range of in-house add-ons written around the ERP, and be the main point of contact for system requests across the business.
Beyond the ERP, the role covers general IT project work as it comes up, from bespoke builds like eInvoicing through to infrastructure work like telephone system upgrades. You'll also manage supplier contracts and third party relationships as part of running the department.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll lead a small, established IT team of two, a Java software engineer and a desktop support specialist. Reliability and organisation matter here, both for the continuity of the department and to give the wider business someone steady to rely on.
We know how few people still work with this combination of RPG and AS400 skills, and would rather find the right person than tick every box on salary or working pattern.
