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.
For this reason, you will need to hold a British passport and be eligible for security clearance. If you already have experience in this type of work and SC in place, this would be very beneficial.
The role will include taking responsibility for the structural side of the projects, liaison with external and internal departments, hands-on design, and running the small structural team.
The role could either be based from their Portsmouth or Monmouth offices.
Excellent benefits in addition to base salary.
