Area Sales Manager – Materials Handling

West Midlands | Excellent Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission + Company Car

If you're already selling forklift trucks or materials handling equipment and based in the Midlands this opportunity is worth a conversation.

We're working with a market-leading business that's investing heavily in growth and looking for an ambitious Area Sales Manager to take ownership of one of its most important territories.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being out with customers, opening new doors, building relationships and winning business. Someone who thrives on targets, loves the buzz of closing deals and wants to be rewarded for their success.

What you'll be doing

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.
