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.

- Level 2 Electrical Qualifications (or equivalent)
- 18th Edition (or 17th with willingness to upskill)
- Experience in maintenance or similar environments
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work under pressure
- A proactive, safety-focused approach
We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.
If you have most but not all these skills and experiences, we encourage you to apply, as we may be able to offer development or training to support you.
Prison Security Clearance will be required (Amey will support you through this process).
