Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a remote position, typically spending 3–4 days per week in the field and the remainder working from home. Project values range from £10,000 to £250,000+, with sales cycles typically spanning 6–18 months.
In addition to managing regional enquiries and driving business development, you’ll also represent the company at conferences and exhibitions alongside the National Sales Manager and Sales Director.

- Experienced specification-led sales engineers with knowledge of HVAC or related products and an understanding of the route to market, ideally gained with another manufacturer.
- Field sales experience with a wholesaler, distributor, or manufacturer within the construction industry.
