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

What we need from you:
You’ll have relevant practical experience within engineering, maintenance, utilities or process operations, along with hands-on experience of operating, maintaining or fault-finding on industrial plant or process equipment.
You’ll also bring:
- Practical mechanical knowledge and a basic understanding of electrical systems
- Strong safety and environmental awareness
- The ability to identify problems, take appropriate action and communicate clearly
- Confidence working independently as part of a 24/7 shift team
