Are you from an electrical background looking to kickstart your technical career with one of the UK's leading specialists, offering direct mentorship from an industry expert and clear progression into senior technical positions?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a market-leading distributor within the rapidly growing surge and lightning protection industry. As demand continues to rise across sectors such as data centres, renewable energy, and critical infrastructure, you'll be joining a business at the forefront of electrical safety.

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.
