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.
As Plant Manager, you’ll lead the entire site operation, people, and performance. You’ll take ownership of COMAH, HAZOP, DSEAR, and ATEX compliance, emergency preparedness, change control, environmental standards, and planned maintenance. You’ll also oversee feedstock intake and handling, digestate quality and stock levels, and ensure gas quality protocols are consistently achieved.
This role would suit someone with previous experience as a Biogas Plant Manager, AD Site Manager, Anaerobic Digestion Plant Manager, or Operations Manager – Anaerobic Digestion.
You’ll be an experienced people manager with strong process engineering capability and proven experience operating within COMAH-regulated environments. Mechanical or electrical engineering expertise is highly desirable, alongside experience in budget management, cost control, PPM systems, H&S, and environmental management.
