Ready to Build Something, Not Just Maintain It?
This is a rare opportunity to join a globally recognised engineering technology leader in a newly created role where you'll have the freedom, autonomy, and backing to make a genuine impact.
At Pepperl+Fuchs, we're looking for a commercially driven, entrepreneurial sales professional who thrives on creating opportunities, opening doors, and winning new business.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to inherit a large portfolio and maintain the status quo. We're looking for a hunter.
Someone who is naturally curious, strategically minded, and energised by identifying opportunities that others miss. Someone who wants to leave their mark on a business and be recognised and rewarded for doing so.
The Opportunity
Reporting into the senior leadership team, you'll play a pivotal role in driving growth across the UK by developing new customer relationships, expanding existing strategic accounts, and identifying opportunities across a wide range of industrial sectors.
You'll be responsible for building a pipeline of opportunities, winning new logos, and creating long-term growth strategies that deliver measurable results.
Working remotely, you'll have the flexibility to manage your own diary and territory while being supported by one of the strongest brands and technical teams in the industrial automation market.
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.
