Type: Full-time
Are you a proactive, field-based Business Development professional who loves winning new business? Our client is growing and is looking for an ambitious, driven and personable Business Development Manager to expand their presence across the construction and wider B2B markets.
This is not a desk-based sales role. You’ll be out meeting people, building relationships, uncovering opportunities and turning them into successful projects across the South West, South Wales, South East, London, Midlands and beyond.

- Structured Data Cabling
- Fibre & Blown Fibre
- Audio Visual
- Network Infrastructure
- Security & CCTV

- Data Centre Solutions
The Role
You’ll take ownership of developing new business and growing existing relationships, managing the full business development journey—from first contact and meetings through to securing projects and supporting a smooth handover to delivery teams. You’ll work closely with Estimating, Project Management, QS and Engineering to ensure opportunities are correctly scoped, priced, negotiated and delivered.
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.
