Junior Business Development Manager

Western Blueprint Ltd

Are you ambitious, commercially minded, and looking to build a successful career in business development?

Western Blueprint is seeking a Junior Business Development Manager to join our growing team and support our continued expansion across the commercial catering, hospitality, workplace dining, education, and leisure sectors.

This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside our Head of Business Development, gaining exposure to prestigious projects and industry-leading clients while developing the skills required to progress into a full Business Development Manager role.

About Western Blueprint

Western Blueprint specialises in the design, consultancy, and full Design & Build delivery of commercial catering and hospitality environments.

From contemporary coffee shops and leisure venues to large-scale workplace dining facilities, commercial kitchens, and educational catering environments, we help our clients create exceptional foodservice spaces from concept through to completion.

The Role

As Junior Business Development Manager, you will play a key role in identifying new opportunities, generating leads, building client relationships, and supporting the sales process from initial enquiry through to project handover.

You'll work closely with our design, project management, and leadership teams, helping to drive new business growth while gaining valuable experience within a dynamic and fast-paced business.

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.
