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.
Project Split
The anticipated workload will be approximately:
- 4 days per week - Wellington Station
- 1 day per week - Kings Langley
This provides an excellent opportunity to work across two significant rail infrastructure projects while taking a lead commercial role on the primary scheme.
Working Arrangements
The projects are currently in the design phase, with no permanent site compound in place at this stage.
Initially, the role will be predominantly home-based and/or from the Manchester/Crewe offices.
As the projects progress towards construction, site attendance will increase, with an expectation of approximately 2 days per week on site, depending on project requirements.
