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.
Initial Training Phase:
- Your first 6–8 weeks will see you working on a key project, stripping down returned shelters ready for service and refurbishment.
- This is a great way to understand the products, materials, and construction techniques before moving into the welding and assembly side of the role.
What we’re looking for:
- Practical, hands-on approach with strong attention to detail
- Ability to follow instructions and interpret basic technical drawings
- Experience in manufacturing/assembly is beneficial (but not essential)
- A willingness to learn and develop new technical skills
