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.
Your weekday role will include:
As a vehicle technician, your typical day will involve completing scheduled servicing in line with manufacturer standards, carrying out diagnostics to identify and resolve vehicle issues, and conducting electronic visual health checks with clear recommendations. You'll liaise with service advisors and customers, ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard while continuing to develop your technical knowledge through training.
What we're looking for:
To succeed as a vehicle technician, you'll ideally hold a Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) and a full UK driving licence.
You'll also demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, excellent attention to detail, good organisation and time management, and the ability to explain technical information clearly to customers.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Willing to be fast tracked towards MOT testing qualifications
If you're a vehicle technician looking for a role with genuine career prospects, excellent benefits, and no weekend working, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
