£50,000 - £55,000 + Bonus + Private Medical + Enhanced Pension + Remote Working + Career Progression

Midlands / Home Based

Are you an experienced technical sales professional who enjoys winning new business, developing long-term customer relationships and taking ownership of the sales process?

Would you like to advance your career with a company that offers a distinct pathway to Senior or Manager?

On offer is the opportunity for a sales professional to produce competitive commercial bids to develop new projects with utility and chemical processing companies for a growing, specialist manufacturer in air pollution and odour control, who offer excellent career development opportunities.

You will manage customer requirements, supplier costings, and negotiations over costs, prices, and payment terms. This role would suit a commercially aware costings or proposals engineer looking for a varied role where you will be a major part of a continuously growing specialist manufacturer and have a path to progression.

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.
