Holt JCB – Avonmouth

Full Time

CLoses:

A Used Equipment Preparation & Presentation Operative is responsible for ensuring that all used machines leaving Holt JCB Avonmouth are prepared and presented to the high standards expected by both Holt JCB and our customers.

Key Responsibilities

Used Machine Preparation & Presentation

  • Take responsibility for the preparation and presentation of used machines prior to customer collection or delivery.

This Will Include:

  • Thoroughly washing and cleaning machines externally.
  • Cleaning wheels, tracks, undercarriages, steps and other areas where dirt and debris can accumulate.
  • Fully valeting machine cabs and interiors.
  • Ensuring machines are spotlessly clean and professionally presented.
  • Removing unnecessary labels, markings or previous customer identification where required.
  • Ensuring all required Holt JCB and supplied-by stickers are correctly fitted and professionally presented.
  • Ensuring operator manuals, documentation and other required paperwork are present and correct.
  • Checking that attachments and other items being supplied with the machine are present.
  • Carrying out final presentation checks before machines are released for delivery or collection.

Machine Inspection & Defect Reporting

As part of the preparation process, thoroughly inspect each machine and identify any obvious defects, damage or areas requiring attention.

This Should Include Checking For:

  • Physical damage.
  • Fluid leaks.
  • Damaged panels, glass, lights or mirrors.
  • Tyre or track condition.
  • Missing components.
  • Damaged or excessively worn cab interiors.
  • Warning lights or obvious machine faults.
  • Missing documentation or accessories.
  • Any other concern that could affect the presentation or customer acceptance of the machine.

The role is not responsible for making decisions regarding mechanical repairs but is responsible for identifying and reporting anything that does not meet the expected standard.

Final Machine Quality Check

Before any used machine leaves Avonmouth, ensure that the required preparation has been completed.

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.
