Job description

Drive Growth. Build Relationships. Shape the Future of a Growing Australian Drilling Business.

GeoDrill Australia is a proud family-owned, Queensland-based drilling company delivering RC, diamond and coal drilling services across Australia.

From humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a respected, ISO-certified contractor with strong, long-term contracts across Tier One mining houses and the junior exploration sector. We operate nationally, employ our people directly (no labour hire model), and pride ourselves on professionalism, performance and strong client relationships.

With continued growth across exploration, coal and mineral drilling, we are now seeking a high-energy, commercially driven leader to step into the role of Business Development Managerr - a true business development and revenue growth role.

This is not a desk-bound tender coordinator position.
This is a front-foot, relationship-driven, pipeline-building role.

The Opportunity

As The Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for driving sustainable revenue growth across exploration, coal, mineral and water drilling services and working closely with the Executive Team.

You will:

• Identify and pursue new mining and exploration opportunities

• Build strategic relationships across Tier One miners and junior explorers

• Maintain and grow our existing client base

• Drive disciplined pipeline management and forecasting

• Lead tender submissions and commercial positioning

• Provide forward visibility of secured and forecast work to the Executive Team

• Represent the company professionally at industry events

You will work closely with our General Manager and operational leadership to ensure alignment between sales activity and operational capacity.

What Success Looks Like

We run a structured, KPI-driven business development system. Success in this role includes:

• Consistent outbound business development activity

• Strong CRM discipline (Pipedrive)

• A maintained weighted pipeline 3-4x revenue target

• Regular new client meetings and opportunity creation

• Minimum tender submission cadence per quarter

• Strategic coverage across commodities and regions

If outreach isn’t logged, it didn’t happen.
If the pipeline isn’t updated, it doesn’t exist.

We value disciplined execution as much as energy and personality.

About You

You are commercially wired, resilient and competitive.

You likely bring:

• Experience in mining, drilling, exploration or heavy industry (Industry experience is preferable)

• A strong ability to be able to walk into a room and start a conversation

• Confidence engaging with technical and operational stakeholders

• Strong relationship-building capability

• High personal accountability

• Comfort working with structured KPIs and reporting systems

• Willingness to travel regionally and nationally

You understand that drilling contracts are won through trust, performance credibility, and consistent follow-up - not just pricing.

Why Join GeoDrill Australia?

• Established family business with strong values

• ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 certified systems

• Strong Tier One and junior sector contracts

• National project exposure

• Growing fleet and expanding operations

• Direct access to executive leadership

• Opportunity to materially influence business growth

We are ambitious - but disciplined.
We are growing - but sustainable.
We are professional - but still grounded in family business values.
