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.
What You Will Be Doing
- Lead technical discovery with customer engineering teams: the development programme they are running, the decision in front of them, and the data that would answer it.
- Translate that into a scoped test and validation programme, and present the method and rationale to an engineering audience.
- Work with the Head of Testing to set out method, scope, exclusions, timelines, and deliverables in proposals, quotes, and statements of work.
- Analyse the market: segments, pricing, competitors, and customers’ in-house capability.
- Build and maintain qualified pipeline against available capacity.
Your Background
- Working knowledge of cell characterisation, cell safety testing, and teardown analysis, including what each involves to run as a service.
- Technical sales or business development background in contract testing, contract research, or engineering services, preferably within the automotive or battery space.
- Experience running technical discovery with engineering customers and converting it into scoped programmes with defined deliverables.
- Degree or similar within Engineering.
- Familiarity with OEM and cell supplier qualification routes and supplier quality audits.
- Familiarity with ISO/IEC 17025 is advantageous.
- Ability to work cross-functionally in a kind and conscientious manner.
- Adaptability in an innovative and rapidly scaling environment, ideally from a start-up or similar.
