Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar

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.
Who We Are Looking For
Ideally, you're familiar with lightning protection systems such as a Lightning Protection Engineer or Lightning Conductor Fitter, and looking for your next step to career development.

Alternatively, this role is perfect for a self-motivated, intuitive individual who can build and maintain client relationships. In this case we're looking for someone with an A* to C grade in a science, engineering, or maths-related A-level, who is confident interacting with customers. While a knowledge of the construction industry is a plus, it’s not essential, as we provide full training to help you master this niche field.

- A full UK driving licence is also required for occasional travel.
