Sales Executive
Location: Liverpool
Join a growing independent business
Higson Edwards Steelstock is one of the North West's leading independent steel stockholders. We've built our reputation on outstanding service, fast turnaround times and long-term customer relationships.
As our business continues to grow, we're looking for an ambitious Sales Executive to join our team.
Previous steel experience isn't essential. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, excellent communication skills and a genuine desire to build a successful career in sales. We'll provide the product knowledge and support you need to succeed.
The Role
Working within our sales team, you'll be responsible for managing customer enquiries, building relationships with existing customers and helping to develop new business opportunities.
No two days are the same. You'll work closely with customers, suppliers and colleagues to ensure orders are handled efficiently and customers receive the high level of service we're known for.
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.
