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.
A sensible approach to working hours
The standard hours are 8am–5pm, but this isn't a role where you're expected to remain on site until 5pm simply because that's what's written on the contract.
Depending on your work area and workload, engineers will generally finish on site around 3pm–4pm and then travel home.
The business takes a practical approach to travel and understands that good engineers shouldn't be kept on site unnecessarily.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll be responsible for maintaining, fault finding and repairing a range of commercial mechanical and building services systems.
Your Workload Will Include
- Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
- Reactive maintenance and emergency breakdowns
- Mechanical fault finding and diagnosis
- HIU servicing, breakdowns and fault finding
- Commercial heating and hot water systems
- Boilers and associated controls
- Pumps and pressurisation units
- Expansion vessels
- Calorifiers
- Plate heat exchangers
- Water softeners
- LTHW and CHW systems
- AHUs and FCUs
- Supply and extract ventilation
- Motors, valves and actuators
- Mechanical plant and associated pipework
- New mechanical installations
- Commissioning and testing
- Remedial works identified during PPM visits
You'll also complete job sheets and service reports, provide photographs and technical recommendations where required, and liaise professionally with clients, estate managers, site teams and specialist subcontractors.
What We're Looking For
You'll need strong experience in commercial mechanical engineering / building services and be comfortable working independently across different sites.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Ideally, You'll Have Experience With

- Primary and secondary heating circuits
- LTHW / CHW systems
- Mechanical plant rooms
- AHUs, FCUs and ventilation
- Pumps, motors, valves and actuators
- PPM and reactive maintenance
- Mechanical fault finding
- Remedial works and installations
A good understanding of SFG20, manufacturer requirements, British Standards, RAMS, permit-to-work procedures and health & safety legislation is expected.
Experience with plant replacement, refurbishment, pricing remedial works or coordinating subcontractors would be advantageous.
The person
We're looking for someone who can be trusted to get on with the job.
You'll Be
- Technically strong and confident with fault finding

Interested?
If you're an experienced Mechanical Engineer and the combination of £40k–£46k, company van, fuel card, 1-in-8 call-out and a sensible approach to travel sounds like the sort of opportunity you'd consider, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
