Are you an experienced Business Development Manager with a background in generator rental, temporary power or power generation, looking for a senior, hands-on sales role where you can drive new business, develop key accounts and play a major part in the growth of a specialist power division?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist power generation business, as a Business Development Manager focused primarily on the continued growth of its Rental division. The role will combine new business development, account management and market development, with the opportunity to influence the sectors and customers the business targets.
You will be responsible for identifying and winning new rental customers, developing existing accounts and managing the sales process from initial enquiry through to profitable order. You will spend significant time meeting customers, undertaking site visits, understanding technical requirements, preparing commercial proposals and negotiating contracts.
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.
