Job Overview

About The Role

Join AO's New Solar Installation Team

We're building something new.

As AO expands into residential solar installations, we're looking for experienced Scaffolders to help us deliver safe access solutions for customers across the UK.

This isn't large commercial projects or long-term site work. You'll be working on domestic properties, erecting and dismantling scaffolds that allow our Solar Installation Teams to safely install rooftop solar systems.

We're looking for scaffolders who take pride in their work, work safely, and understand the importance of representing a trusted brand in customers' homes.

A Typical Day

You'll start from your local depot, collect your materials and head out with your mate to residential customer properties. You'll install the required scaffold, liaise with the Solar Team, ensure everything is safe and compliant, and move on to the next job. Once installation work is complete, you'll return to dismantle and clear the scaffold.

No two days are the same, but every day you'll play a key part in helping customers switch to renewable energy.

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

  • Erecting, adapting and dismantling domestic scaffolding systems on residential properties.
  • Installing temporary roof edge protection and safe access platforms.
  • Working closely with Solar Installation Teams to ensure scaffolds meet the requirements of each job.
  • Loading and unloading scaffold equipment and ensuring vehicles are organised and stocked.
  • Carrying out pre-work safety checks and identifying site hazards.
  • Inspecting scaffold structures and ensuring compliance with current regulations and company standards.
  • Always maintaining a clean and professional working environment.
  • Providing excellent customer service whilst working at occupied residential homes.
  • Working efficiently to meet installation schedules without compromising safety.
  • Supporting your mate and wider team to ensure jobs are completed right first time.

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.
