Software Delivery Coordinator

📍 Woking (3 days per week onsite)
💰 Up to £45,000 DOE

Akkodis is supporting a leading automotive organisation in the search for a Software Delivery Coordinator to join their vehicle software development team.

This role sits at the heart of software delivery, coordinating engineering teams, software releases, programme milestones, and delivery readiness across complex vehicle development programmes.

🚨 Essential Requirements

  • Automotive OEM experience is a MUST (vehicle manufacturer environment)
  • Strong understanding of Software Engineering / Software Development Lifecycles is a MUST

Applications without both of the above are unlikely to be considered.

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.
