Let’s be honest - not all engineering roles are built the same.
If you know lightning protection, you already know how niche this is. The work matters, the standards are high, and the right engineers are hard to come by.
You’ll be working on everything from MOD sites and hospitals to high-rise residential buildings and major universities - installing systems that quite literally protect structures from catastrophic damage.
What the role actually looks like
This is hands-on, real engineering.
You’ll be out on site — not stuck behind a desk — installing and upgrading lightning protection and earthing systems across a wide range of buildings. Some jobs are straightforward, others more complex… that’s part of the appeal.
Reasons to use Rodeo

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.

Why this role stands out
This isn’t just another install job.
You’ll be working on high-profile, safety-critical sites, with the backing of a business that’s growing fast and investing in its people. If you’re good at what you do, there’s real scope to progress — whether that’s technically or into leadership.
If you’re already in the industry, you’ll know — good roles like this don’t come up often.
