Sales Manager - UK (Hydraulic Control Valves)

We are seeking an experienced Sales Manager to lead the development and expansion of our client's hydraulic control valves business across the UK. This is a high-impact role focused on driving market entry, building strategic relationships, and delivering sustainable revenue growth within the waterworks and oil & gas sectors.

The Role

You will take ownership of the UK market strategy, identifying and securing new business opportunities while strengthening relationships with key clients, distributors, and EPC contractors. Working closely with engineering and operations teams, you will ensure the successful delivery of technically robust and commercially competitive solutions.

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.
