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.
This is a depot-based position requiring a methodical and self-motivated individual who can work independently. Given the nature of the role, a strong focus on quality, reliability and attention to detail is essential.
Ideal Candidate
- Experience in a similar environment and an understanding of electrical equipment or an electrical background would be beneficial.
- The ability to work independently and maintain high standards and safety standards.
- A full driving licence is essential and HGV would be highly beneficial.
- Experience operating a forklift truck would be advantageous.
We recommend you apply as soon as possible, as we may close the vacancy early should sufficient numbers of suitable applications be received.
