Harris DAF Parts Advisor Opportunity
Harris DAF is recruiting for an experienced Parts Advisor to join our Parts team at our Grays dealership.
As a Parts Advisor, you will be responsible for identifying and supplying the correct parts to customers and our workshop, processing orders, responding to parts enquiries, and supporting parts sales. You will work closely with customers, technicians, and colleagues within the Parts department to ensure an efficient and professional service.
The role involves advising customers on parts availability, processing orders accurately, maintaining stock records, and supporting the day-to-day operation of a busy commercial vehicle Parts department.
We are looking for someone with previous experience in a Parts Advisor or similar automotive parts role. Experience within the commercial vehicle industry would be advantageous but is not essential.
Responsibilities
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.
