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.

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.
The Role

- Carrying out preventative maintenance
Working independently and as part of the wider maintenance team, you'll ensure all work is completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard. You'll use electronic job management systems to record completed work and materials, maintain your van stock to maximize first-time fixes, and always deliver a professional service to customers.
Health and safety is at the heart of everything we do, so you'll complete risk assessments and follow safe systems of work on every job. You'll also attend regular training, toolbox talks, and team briefings to continue developing your skills and stay up to date with industry best practice.
The role includes participation in a one-week-in-three call-out rota, which includes weekends. A standby payment and additional call-out supplement are provided for this commitment.
What you’ll need
You'll be a qualified plumber with experience in domestic repairs and maintenance and take genuine pride in delivering high-quality workmanship.
