NEOS Engineering are working exclusively with a growing and highly respected engineering business to recruit a Parts & Stores Manager.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Parts Supervisor, Stores Manager or Parts Manager looking to take ownership of a busy parts operation supporting workshop and field service engineers across heavy plant and construction equipment.
The business has an excellent reputation within the industry, continues to invest in its people and equipment, and offers genuine long-term career progression.
The Role
As Parts & Stores Manager, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the parts department, ensuring engineers receive the correct parts first time while maintaining accurate stock levels and building strong supplier relationships.
You'll play a key role in supporting the service operation and keeping machinery moving through efficient stock control and purchasing.
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.
