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're Looking For
- Proven hands-on experience with protection panel FAT and Omicron secondary injection testing.
- Genuine transmission protection experience at 132kV+ is essential.
- Experience with numerical relays and fault finding.
- Suitable backgrounds include Protection & Control, Protection/Test, Relay Test, Commissioning, or Protection Technician roles.
