Are you a Sales Manager or similar with specification experience in cladding or facades looking to join a long-standing and prestigious company, where you will be recognised as the go-to sales expert, with progression routes into Directorship?
Do you want to join a company that will value you with a highly generous commission bonus, a company vehicle or allowance and 33 days holiday, where you will have full autonomy and the ability to truly make your mark?
In this role you will be responsible for securing vital contracts for cladding and façade projects. You will build strong relationships with contractors, specifiers, and housing associations to sell External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems across the East of England, from Newcastle down to Suffolk. You will develop new business as well as maintaining existing relationships.
Founded in the 80's, this manufacturer prides themselves on delivering excellent quality construction products across the UK, with dynamic growth plans to become a leader in their sector. They are rapidly growing and have developed a fantastic reputation over the years.
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.
