Job Title: Maintenance Controller

Location: Coventry

Salary: GBP 36,500 Basic + Bonus Scheme + Company Benefits

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Maintenance Controller to join a well-established organisation within the commercial vehicle and fleet management sector.

This is a key role within the maintenance control function, responsible for ensuring vehicle maintenance is managed efficiently, cost-effectively and to the highest possible service standards. You will work closely with customers, suppliers, repairers, and internal teams to minimise vehicle downtime and ensure vehicles are returned to service as quickly as possible.

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.
