Technical Business Development Manager | North of England | Home Based
£40,000 - £50,000 + Company Car + Bonus + Benefits
Do you enjoy selling technical solutions rather than products? Are you the type of salesperson who enjoys getting out on site, understanding how a customer's business operates and developing the right solution rather than simply chasing the next order?
If so, this could be a fantastic opportunity to join a growing engineering business supplying technical solutions to some of the UK's leading manufacturing and industrial organisations.
We're looking for an experienced Technical Business Development Manager to develop project opportunities across the North of England, working with both existing customers and new prospects.
This is a consultative sales role where you'll work closely with Engineering Managers, Maintenance Managers and Operations teams, helping customers improve, modernise and future-proof their lifting equipment.
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.
