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.
The role involves CAD-based design, material selection for HPHT and subsea environments, FEA validation, prototype and pressure testing, and producing detailed engineering documentation. You will collaborate closely with R&D, manufacturing, quality, and project teams, contributing to both standard product development and customer-specific projects.
Key requirements
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)
- Three years experience in subsea or high-reliability mechanical systems
- Strong CAD and FEA skills
- Knowledge of sealing technologies, pressure-rated designs, and subsea materials
- Familiarity with industry standards (API, ISO, IEC, IEEE)
