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.
Much of the production machinery is bespoke, and being honest is getting on a bit in years. Spare parts and replacements are often not available and have to be made in house. However, the equipment is very well maintained and most of the Maintenance Engineer's work is preventative biased.

What will you bring to the table?
- You will probably be apprentice trained, ideally in electrical engineering or very similar.
- You will definitely need some electrical knowledge, and 18th edition certification is very much preferred. Experience with single phase and three phase power supplies up to 415v is essential.
- Experience of preventative maintenance procedures is preferred.
- You will also need to be handy on the mechanical front and skills using the following will be utilised on a regular basis to make replacement parts for bespoke machinery as well as jigs and fixtures for production:
- Manual milling
- Manual turning
- Basic welding and fabrication
- Standard hand tools
- The ability to read engineering drawings is essential, and any abilities to produce basic CAD drawings is extremely beneficial.
- Willingness to get involved with the maintenance of the facility; this may involve changing light bulbs, basic joinery (e.g. replacing doors) and other "handyman" type activities.
