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.
You have
- Proven experience in office administration or project coordination, preferably in the Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) or construction industry.
- Exceptional organisational skills with an eager eye for detail and the ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact confidently with stakeholders at all levels.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and project management tools.
- Knowledge of BEMS or HVAC systems is a plus, but not required.
