Technology Due Diligence Consultant | Two/Three Week Engagement | UK | Water Services and Built Environment
We need an experienced technology due diligence consultant for two/three weeks to support the project lead on a private equity technology and operations due diligence.
The sector is water services and the built environment: regulated compliance monitoring, connected devices and the service operations built around them. The engagement covers a proprietary software platform, connected hardware including firmware and device deployment, and a pre-deal value creation assessment of tech-enabled operations.
What You Will Be Doing
- Reviewing engineering quality, architecture, technical debt, third-party dependencies, and scalability
- Assessing product management, engineering, and technology operations practices, outputs, and costs against industry norms
- Reviewing hardware development and production: bill of materials risk, regulatory certification, version control, inventory, and installed base management
- Covering cybersecurity, business continuity, data management, and current use of AI
- Mapping operational processes using Lead to Cash and Trouble to Resolve frameworks to identify cost, margin, and multiple levers
- Running interviews with management, evidencing findings, and drafting sections of the report
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 We Are Looking For
- Mid-career, roughly eight to fifteen years, with real operating experience in software or connected hardware businesses rather than advisory only
- Prior technology due diligence experience on the investor side, or the equivalent as a hands-on CTO, engineering lead, or product lead who has been through a transaction
- Experience in a regulated operating environment is an advantage. Water, utilities, facilities management, healthcare estates, or similar
- Ability to form a view quickly on thin evidence, and to defend it in front of an investment committee
- Clear written English. You will be drafting, not just interviewing
- Comfortable with hardware and software in the same engagement. If you only know one, tell us which, and we will judge the fit honestly

Everything is under NDA, and you will be asked to sign one before we share detail.
To apply, send a short note with your CV or profile, your day rate, and one paragraph on the most useful thing you found in a due diligence and how it changed the deal.
