This role is ideal for someone who is hungry to chase new opportunities, enjoys connecting with clients and is excited by contributing towards growing the company.
The successful candidate will focus on generating new business while strengthening relationships with existing customers across the electrical drives, motors and automation sectors in Brisbane.

What We Are Looking For
We are particularly interested in someone who is:
  • An experienced BDM, Sales Engineer or Technical Sales professional
  • From an electrical engineering, drives, motors or automation background or relevant industry knowledge
  • Confident engaging with engineers, maintenance teams, project managers and senior decision makers
  • Passionate about ultra low harmonic solutions and high performance technologies
  • Skilled at identifying opportunities and converting technical knowledge into commercial wins
  • Self motivated individual who is proactive and comfortable and productive working autonomously
  • Commercially ambitious and excited to build something, not just manage an existing portfolio
  • Ideally experienced within a smaller or specialist engineering business
  • Looking for a long term role with genuine potential to grow into greater responsibility

  • Travel and/or vehicle allowance provided
  • Opportunity to work across a diverse and expanding customer base
  • A role combining engineering, sales, commissioning and business development
