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.

- Be chartered (CGeol, CEng or equivalent)
- Have experience in a design environment working on complex rock engineering and engineering geological projects in the UK or internationally
- Have experience working in a design environment (in addition some site experience is preferred)

- Have well-rounded geotechnical design experience
- Can communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, with people at all levels, across the project organisation and externally with demonstrated ability to prepare project reports
- Have a full UK driving licence
