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.

- Strong Primavera P6 experience – essential.
- NEC3 / NEC4 experience – essential.
- Good understanding of construction methodology and project delivery.
- Transmission or energy experience is highly desirable, although experience in rail, water, defence, utilities, or similar infrastructure will also be considered.
