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.
What are the requirements?
- Predominantly mechanical background with basic electrical knowledge, ideally from an engineering apprenticeship or equivalent hands-on experience.

- Ideally qualified to City & Guilds/NVQ Level 3 or equivalent.
- Ability to use Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) (desirable).
- IOSH qualification (desirable but not essential - we'll support you to gain it if needed).
