MRO Sales Specialist – Industrial Distribution
Work from home South & South West England
Area: Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Bristol/South West or Southampton/Solent.
An established industrial distribution business is looking for an experienced MRO sales specialist to support continued growth across existing and prospective customers. This is a hands-on commercial role for someone who already understands engineering components, industrial consumables, and the service expectations of maintenance and manufacturing customers.
You will act as a knowledgeable point of contact, taking customer requirements from initial enquiry through quotation, order, delivery, and aftersales support. You will source products from approved suppliers, recommend suitable alternatives, protect margin, and identify opportunities to grow accounts through proactive contact and cross-selling.
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.

- Source bearings, power-transmission products, seals, lubricants, and wider industrial consumables.

What is required?
- Recent experience in MRO, industrial distribution, engineering supplies, or a closely related technical-sales environment.

- A full clean UK driving licence.
