Sales Manager โ Structural Steel
๐ London
๐ผ Permanent | Full Time
๐ฐ Competitive salary, depending on experience
Selling structural steel in London means knowing more than how to sell.
You need to understand the projects, the contractors, the pressures around programme and cost, and most importantly, what a steel fabricator can actually deliver.
We're looking for a Sales Manager with previous experience working for a structural steel fabricator to develop new business, build strong client relationships and help bring the right projects into the business.
The Role
You'll be responsible for developing new opportunities across the London and wider UK construction market, while continuing to build relationships with existing clients.
You'll be speaking with main contractors, developers, steelwork contractors, engineers and other construction professionals, getting involved early in projects and identifying where the business can add value.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iโm in my final year doing Economics and I donโt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer โ it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโt need a masters. Letโs look at the ones youโd 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 โ that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
