Reasons to use Rodeo

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.
Our advice at the early design phase ensures that all engineering and ‘buildability’ considerations are considered from the outset. This creates a more robust design solution for when subsequent stages of a project are tendered to market, promoting more efficient overall spend whilst reducing risks and disruption.
This is a full-time position with a flexible approach to home working to promote well-being and it will be predominantly home-based but will require occasional office attendance in London and / or Manchester as per business needs.
You will be required to undertake short-term or long-term commissions to address a variety of customer needs. Candidates with a track record of cost management at pre and post contract; working on contracts through the development cycle to the delivery through the construction phase would be preferred.
