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.
Main Responsibilities
- Undertake survey and project work unrelated to standard leak detection
- Assist repair gangs by providing leak detection support
- Conduct detailed surveys to identify type and location of water leaks in large-diameter pipes
- Ensure accurate completion of all documentation:
- Time sheets

Key Technical Task: Step Test
Performing a Step Test is critical for identifying high leakage within a water distribution network. This involves:

- Controlling water supply through a single meter to isolate areas for analysis
- Conducted primarily at night when consumption is lowest and most stable (mitigates disruption to consumers)
