This is a field-based growth role suited to a self-starter with a strong commercial mindset who enjoys developing new business, identifying opportunities, and building long-term customer relationships across both established and emerging accounts.

With 47 years in the industry, Rockcote is a proudly Australian, family-owned manufacturer of premium render, texture coatings, and architectural coating systems. We support projects from specification through to application, not just product supply.

• Conduct regular site visits, training, and technical support on-site and remotely
• Strengthen distributor and trade store relationships through education and engagement
• Partner closely with internal sales & technical teams to ensure smooth project handovers & execution support
• Manage your territory pipeline, accounts, and follow-ups with strong ownership and discipline
• Coordinate samples, project handovers, and on-the-ground support where required

About You:

• Background in rendering, coatings or a relevant construction trade or account management within building products
• Strong understanding of coatings systems and real-world application (highly regarded)
• Proven ability to build relationships and actively generate new business (hunter mindset essential)
• Operationally strong with CRM usage, order follow-ups, and territory management
• Strong service ethic, ensuring consistent and reliable customer support
• Confident communicator across trade and commercial stakeholders
• Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable working independently in a field-based role
• Highly organised with strong time management and ownership of your territory
• Motivated to grow a long-term career in sales and account management

Why Rockcote?

• Proudly Australian, family-owned business with 47 years of industry leadership
• Genuine opportunity to grow and shape your territory
• Company vehicle + full tools of trade provided (phone, laptop, etc.)
• Supportive, down-to-earth team culture
• Employee wellbeing program + free counselling (EAP)
• Ongoing training and career development opportunities
• Generous staff discounts on Rockcote products
