Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The technology portfolio includes applications across temperature, environmental, acceleration, gas, position, load and pressure sensing, alongside associated electronic technologies.
What we're looking for
Ideally, you'll already have experience within sensor sales, although we'd also consider someone from a closely related electronic components or technical electronics background.
We're looking for:
- Technical sales, FAE or field sales experience
- Sensor or electronic component knowledge
- Experience with technical/design-in sales
- The ability to understand customer applications
- Strong business-development skills
- Commercial awareness
- Experience managing a UK territory
- A full UK driving licence
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
An engineering/electronics degree would be useful but isn't essential where you have equivalent industry experience.
Some customers operate within the defence sector, so eligibility to work on relevant MOD programmes would be advantageous.
Package:
- Salary: £50,000–£60,000 depending on experience
- Bonus: 13.5%
- Car allowance: £600 per month, or company car
- Location: Fully remote – UK based
- Office: Approximately once per month in Wokingham
- Contract: Permanent
