Are you a Business Development Executive or similar with experience in lead generation or market research, looking to join a rapidly expanding cables company where you will receive expert training, develop your commercial skills and have opportunities to progress across the business?

This global cable supplier provides power, data and control cable solutions to industries including rail, mining, renewables, oil and gas, construction and infrastructure. Operating in over 120 countries worldwide, the business is recognised for technical expertise, quality assurance and project support.

In this role, you will support the Business Development team by researching construction, infrastructure and industrial projects, identifying potential opportunities and speaking with contractors, consultants, developers and other industry contacts to gather project intelligence.

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.
