About This Role
Are you a Territory Sales Executive, Business Development Executive, Sales Executive or commercial professional with sales experience looking for your next opportunity? As a Business Development Manager with Dawsongroup Temperature Control Solutions in Avonmouth, you will develop new customer relationships, grow your commercial expertise and build a long term career within our temperature controlled solutions business.
- Develop new business opportunities across your allocated territory through customer visits, networking and proactive prospecting.
- Build trusted relationships with customers, understand their operational needs and recommend appropriate temperature control solutions.

About You
You enjoy opening doors, building relationships and turning conversations into commercial opportunities, and you already have previous sales experience to build from. We are interested in your potential as well as your background, so you do not need to have worked in temperature control or asset rental before.
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.
