  • Identify slippage, weak ownership, supplier delay, cost exposure, records risk, or compliance risk early and ensure timely escalation with recommended actions.
  • Ensure lease obligations, return conditions, inspection findings, and technical risks are converted into executable plans.
  • Monitor performance of MROs, OEMs, CAMO providers, inspection providers, records providers, engine shops, consultants, and subcontractors across active projects.
  • Standardise ALM technical outputs including inspection reports, transition trackers, maintenance status summaries, LLP/BTB reviews, records findings, technical recommendations, and close-out reports.
  • Coach and develop Airworthiness / Technical Review Engineers toward future Technical Manager capability.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
