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.
The Essentials
- Mechanical Engineering Expertise Strong fundamentals and the ability to own mechanical designs rather than just CAD someone else's ideas.
- Startup mentality Comfortable moving quickly, dealing with ambiguity and building cool products without needing a huge team or process around you.
- Things that move Experience designing rotating machinery, motors, electromechanical systems or other machines with moving parts.
Big bonus if you have experience with electric motors, thermal analysis, FEA, aerospace/UAVs, defence, SolidWorks, DFM or taking hardware from prototype into production.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
