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.
A day in the life
No two days look the same. You'll collaborate with cross-functional partners, Operations, Engineering, Sustainability, Finance, and Program teams while managing outputs from external suppliers. One morning you're leading a supplier negotiation; by afternoon, you're deep-diving category data to unlock value and deploy services at scale.
You'll shift between strategic procurement, planning and project management to rapidly meet evolving customer needs. If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building from scratch, and want to own a category shaping sustainable logistics, this is your day.
About The Team
The Power & Utilities team owns the sourcing and deployment of critical energy infrastructure: EV Charging, Renewables & Storage, Power Infrastructure, and Utilities Supply enabling Operations to run, grow, and decarbonize at scale.
You'll have autonomy to innovate and deliver approaches that impact both the bottom and top line. We move fast, every day is day one. You'll be surrounded by inspiring, diverse individuals with varied professional backgrounds and actively supported to grow through lateral, geographical, or functional moves.
