Job Opportunity: Specialist for Pre-2016 Land Rover Defenders
Are you passionate about iconic British engineering and looking for a role with true variety, flexible hours, and no corporate micro-management? Join an expanding, family-run specialist dedicated exclusively to pre-2016 Land Rover Defenders—ranging from routine servicing right up to full custom restorations!
About Us
We are a thriving, passionate, family-run business that lives and breathes classic Land Rover Defenders. Leaving the monotonous assembly-line style servicing behind, our workshop offers a genuinely varied workload where every project is unique. We take immense pride in crafting work to the absolute highest standard, offering a supportive team environment, flexible shift options to suit your lifestyle, and a shared passion for bringing classic 4x4s to life.
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.
