The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced Business Development Manager to join a well-established business with over 35 years' experience in the installation, servicing, maintenance, and relocation of integrated systems, including conveyors, cranes, and automated storage systems.

The Role

  • Identify and target new clients and business opportunities
  • Develop and grow service and maintenance contracts
  • Generate leads and manage the sales process from initial contact through to completion
  • Arrange and conduct customer meetings and site visits
  • Build strong, long-term relationships with new and existing customers
  • Understand customer requirements and identify suitable solutions
  • Work closely with engineering, service, and project teams
  • Support service coordination and project management when required
  • Develop existing accounts and identify further commercial opportunities
  • Take ownership of your sales pipeline and deliver agreed targets

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.
