About Hoecker Structures
Hoecker Structures UK Ltd is a specialist marquee manufacturer serving customers across the events sector. As a small, close-knit team, we offer an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to make a meaningful contribution and become involved in the future growth and development of the business.
Experience in the marquee manufacturing or marquee hire industry would be preferred, although applications from candidates with strong sales experience in related sectors are welcome.
The role
We are looking for a positive, proactive, and commercially minded Sales Manager to drive our sales performance and deliver consistent revenue growth. You will take ownership of the full sales cycle, from generating leads and preparing quotes through to closing deals and developing long-term customer relationships. You will be responsible for meeting agreed sales targets, growing key accounts, identifying new business opportunities, and ensuring that accurate sales reporting is completed each month.
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.

- Experience in the marquee manufacture, marquee hire, events, or related industries is preferred.
- A proactive approach to generating leads and developing new business.
- Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
