We’re TIP Group – a proud Great Place to Work® – and we’re looking for a skilled and motivated Workshop Manager to join our team.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll take ownership of workshop performance, keep trailers on the road, and lead a team that takes real pride in doing the job right.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Managing workshop operations, including loading, repair prioritisation, systems, and processes to meet customer and business demands
  • Working closely with a supportive, hands-on team to maintain safe, efficient, and high-performing workshop practices
  • Keeping our customers’ fleets road-ready by minimising truck & trailer downtime and identifying the most economical repair solutions
  • Ensuring all inspections, services, and repairs meet company standards and comply with all EHS and mandatory legislation
  • Analysing maintenance trends, managing staffing and overtime, and highlighting performance and commercial opportunities to management

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.
