⭐ Be part of something real
At SDL, you won’t be lost in a big corporate machine - you’ll join a friendly, supportive, family-run business where people look out for each other.
We’ve built our reputation over 47 years by treating customers well and taking care of our teams. When you join us, you become part of that family ethos from day one.
🔧 What you’ll be doing
This is a hands-on role at the heart of our branch. You’ll be serving customers on the counter and over the phone, understanding what they need, finding the right parts and making sure they leave happy. You’ll work closely with the logistics team to keep orders moving and help keep the branch running smoothly every day.
If you enjoy helping people, solving problems, and being part of a busy, focused team - you’ll feel right at home here.
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.
