About Smith Tools
At Smith Tools, we take pride in supporting tradespeople and serious DIYers with high-quality equipment, expert advice, and top-tier service. Built on years of industry expertise and practical knowledge, we are more than just a tool stockist - we are a trusted technical partner to our customers.
We are currently looking for a knowledgeable, practical, and customer-focused Tool Sales Assistant & Power Tool Repair Specialist to join our team.
The Role
This dynamic, hands-on role combines counter sales and customer service with technical hands-on power tool diagnostics, servicing and repairs. You’ll be the friendly face behind the counter helping customers choose the right gear, while also rolling up your sleeves in the workshop to get their machinery back up and running.
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.
