Business Development Manager – Cranes
£55,000-85,000 (DOE) + Bonus + Company Car/Allowance
The Opportunity
NEOS Engineering are partnered with a leading manufacturer within the lifting and crane sector who are looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to drive growth across the UK dealer network.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience selling cranes or heavy equipment who enjoys developing dealer relationships, supporting key accounts, and identifying new business opportunities. The dealer network is already established, with an existing partner in place, giving you a strong platform to build from.
If you're commercially driven and want to play a key role in expanding a recognised brand, this could be the role for you.
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.
