Are you a commercially driven sales professional who thrives on winning complex, high-value projects?

We are recruiting on behalf of a market-leading business operating within the construction and built environment sector. With significant growth plans, a strong order book and a proven sales methodology, this is an opportunity to join a highly successful team selling bespoke, project-led solutions into major residential developments across the UK.

This is not a cold-calling role. You'll inherit opportunities that have already been nurtured and qualified, allowing you to focus on building relationships, developing winning strategies, navigating complex stakeholder groups and securing large-scale projects.

Typical project values are circa £2 million, with top performers managing sales portfolios worth £30 million+ annually.

The Role

As Technical Sales Lead, you will take ownership of a portfolio of live opportunities, guiding projects through the sales process from technical consultation through to commercial agreement and order placement.

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.
