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 we're looking for
- Solid hands-on experience supporting enterprise networks
- Good knowledge of LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, routing, and firewalls
- Cisco networking / CLI experience
- Experience with VoIP or unified communications
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
- Good understanding of IT service management and change processes
- Able to work independently and take ownership
- Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude
CCNA is desirable but not essential – equivalent practical experience will be considered. Experience with Cisco Webex Calling, Microsoft 365, Azure, or wider infrastructure would also be beneficial.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What's on offer?
- £35,000–£45,000
- Hybrid working – minimum 2 days per week in Sheffield
- Technical development and training opportunities
- Exposure to networking projects and wider infrastructure technologies
- Occasional UK travel to sites and suppliers
You’ll need a full UK driving licence and access to a car.
If you're a practical networking professional looking for your next move and want a role where you can make an impact rather than simply work through a ticket queue, apply now for a confidential conversation.
