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.
This is a field-sales role, with your base in South Yorkshire. You can expect to be on the road 3–4 days per week, working closely with customers on-site.
While the sales process isn’t highly technical, you will have a background in heavy engineering (service & repair), mechanical engineering, metals recycling, metals manufacturing, material handling or a similar field. Your customers will include engineering, maintenance, factory, and site managers—so this is a hands-on role where you’ll be comfortable working in practical, industrial environments.
About You
- Proven experience in a similar role (Account Manager, Key Account Manager, Sales Manager, or Business Development Manager) within engineering or manufacturing
- Qualified to HNC level in a technical or business discipline
- Willing and able to travel across the UK, Ireland, and Scandinavia
- Comfortable using CRM systems
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Commercially astute with a proactive approach to business development
- Excellent relationship-building abilities
- Full UK driving licence
