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.
Working alongside senior colleagues, you’ll undertake day-to-day MHE (Material Handling Equipment) and facilities maintenance tasks and will liaise with contractors if you need external expertise. You’ll work across a range of shifts to support our sites around the clock, ensuring Amazon delivers at speed.
Maintenance often occurs during early or late hours/night shifts to minimise disruption. If better ways to improve operations are identified, you’ll have the opportunity to develop new processes and innovations such as Amazon Robotics and Complex Item Sorters.
