Head of Business Development - Europe
UK/ Europe
Wet Processing/ Recycling Aggregate Capital Equipment
You already know how to grow a capital equipment business across multiple countries. You have led salespeople, developed dealer networks, worked directly with major customers, and understand that selling complete processing solutions is very different from selling individual machines.
This role gives you ownership of a well-established European business development operation, leading an experienced team across a significant region with plenty of opportunity to grow.
You will cover key markets across Europe, working with customers in aggregates, quarrying, construction materials, and recycling.
The job
- Lead and develop the European business development team
- Drive sales growth across key European markets
- Build and strengthen dealer and distributor relationships
- Develop strategic relationships with major aggregate, quarrying, and recycling customers
- Support complex, high-value capital equipment and turnkey processing projects
- Work closely with engineering, applications, and project teams
- Identify new markets, customers, and commercial opportunities
- Develop the team while maintaining strong commercial accountability
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.

Why this role

- High-value engineered projects rather than transactional equipment sales
- Competitive base salary plus commission
- Company vehicle or car allowance and strong benefits package

About the company
We are recruiting for an established global manufacturer of wet-processing systems serving the aggregates, quarrying, construction materials, and recycling markets.
The business designs and delivers complete processing solutions rather than simply supplying individual machines, with projects ranging from standalone equipment through to complex turnkey plants.
Its European operation is already well established, with an experienced commercial team, strong customer relationships, and significant existing revenue.
This hire is about building on that platform, developing the team, and driving the next stage of growth across Europe.
