About this Role
We're recruiting on behalf of an plastic engineered materials manufacturer with a strong sustainability focus, looking to grow across its key technical markets: Utilities, Infrastructure and Energy. Candidate can be located in Bristol / South West.
This isn't a product pushing role. You'll understand complex engineering challenges, and turn them into commercially viable solutions. You'll own opportunities end to end and help position the business as a long term technical partner, not just a supplier.
What you'll be doing
- Winning profitable new business across Utilities, Infrastructure and Energy
- Engaging EPC contractors, consultants, designers and asset owners early to influence specifications and material selection
- Owning opportunities from first conversation through quotation, negotiation and order
- Building value propositions that balance technical feasibility, revenue and margin
- Working with Technical, Product Development and Operations to shape solutions
- Building the commercial case for new or modified products and turning bespoke wins into repeatable solutions
- Delivering technical presentations, workshops and CPDs
- Keeping an accurate CRM pipeline and forecast
- Feeding market and competitor intelligence back into the business
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.
