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.
Performing a Step Test is one of the most effective ways of identifying high leakage within a water distribution network. It requires the establishment of zones of DMAs where water can be supplied through a single meter.
It is usually carried out at night since this is the time when consumption is lowest and most stable – it also means less disruption to consumers.
Possession of the following current certification would be advantageous but not essential:
- EUSR Water Hygiene Training
- Unit 2 Street Works
To be a Leakage Technician you are required to drive for the role and must hold a full and valid driving licence.
