Full Training Provided | Company Vehicle & Fuel Card | Monday to Friday | Career Opportunity within the Water Industry
Are you looking for a new career where you can work outdoors, learn new skills and build a long-term future within the water industry?
We are recruiting for a number of Trainee Field Technicians across the Bournemouth area. No previous water industry experience is required as full training will be provided.
This is an excellent opportunity for candidates from driving, warehouse, labouring, meter reading, construction, utilities or other hands-on roles who are looking for a career change.
The Role
As a Trainee Field Technician, you will support leak detection activities across the water network using specialist equipment and technology. You will play an important role in helping to identify leaks, reduce water loss and protect vital water resources.
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.
