We are looking for a Trainee Traffic Systems Technician to join SRL Traffic Systems, the UK leader in portable traffic lights, temporary traffic management equipment, and intelligent transport technology.

This role is ideal for someone practical, physically fit, and eager to build technical skills. No industry experience is needed, just a full UK driving licence and a willingness to learn. If you’re ready for a role that’s active, challenging, and rewarding, look no further.

Key Responsibilities

In this hands-on, field-based role, you will:

  • Deliver, set up, and configure portable traffic light systems at customer sites
  • Carry out on-site battery exchanges to keep equipment fully operational
  • Inspect, repair, and maintain hire fleet equipment in the depot
  • Load, unload, and transport equipment safely using a company vehicle
  • Keep accurate records using mobile technology and internal systems
  • Provide excellent customer service, ensuring equipment is installed safely and correctly
  • Participate in on-call rota and offer support during out-of-hours situations

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.
