Who we are.
At Novuna Vehicle Solutions, we're passionate about driving the future of mobility. Working with some of the UK's best-known brands, we help organisations transition to smarter, more sustainable fleets through electric vehicles, alternative fuels and fleet electrification. From advising on vehicle and infrastructure strategies to supporting the rollout of charging solutions, our people are at the heart of creating innovative, customer-focused solutions that keep businesses moving forward.
What you'll do.
You'll lead a team of circa 11 Downtime Controllers who support customers with vehicle downtime, working closely with our garage network to ensure repairs to light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are completed efficiently, cost-effectively and with minimal disruption.
You'll be responsible for driving team performance, coaching and developing your people, and acting as an escalation point for more complex downtime cases. Working collaboratively across the business, you'll help deliver an outstanding customer experience while identifying opportunities to improve processes and ways of working.
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.
