Workshop Controller
Dagenham | £38,000-£42,000 Basic + OTE up to £55,000 | 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
Ready to Take Control of a Busy Workshop?
Looking for your next Workshop Controller opportunity with a strong basic salary and the chance to earn up to £55,000?
We're recruiting for an established automotive dealership in Dagenham, with a £38,000-£42,000 basic salary, OTE up to £55,000 and a 1 in 3 Saturday morning working pattern.
If you're an experienced Workshop Controller who enjoys keeping a busy operation organised and making sure the workshop runs smoothly, this could be worth a conversation.
The Opportunity
You'll play an important role in the day-to-day running of the workshop, working closely with Technicians, Service Advisors and the wider aftersales team.
It's a role where organisation, communication and the ability to keep things moving are important, particularly when the workshop gets busy.
The package offers a £38,000-£42,000 basic salary, OTE up to £55,000, with 1 in 3 Saturday mornings.
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.
