Job description

Business Development Manager – Plumbing & Civil Services

Sunshine Coast, QLD | Full Time | Attractive Salary + Bonuses + Company Vehicle

Are you a natural people person who knows how to build relationships, spot opportunities and make things happen?

dRAINS kLEEN is looking for an exceptional Business Development Manager to join our team and play a key role in our continued growth.

We're looking for someone who is driven, commercially minded and genuinely enjoys connecting with people. A natural relationship builder who knows how to read the room, adapt their approach and build trust with people from all walks of life — equally comfortable with civil contractors and tradespeople on site as they are with commercial clients and senior decision-makers.

You’ll be proactive, approachable and confident, with the initiative to recognise opportunities and the drive to turn them into business.

About Us

dRAINS KLEEN is a well-established, family-owned plumbing, drainage and civil services business servicing the Sunshine Coast and surrounding regions.

With an experienced team, specialised equipment and a strong reputation for quality and reliability, we're well positioned for further growth across the civil, commercial, construction and strata sectors.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, relationship-focused role where you'll take ownership of identifying new business opportunities, developing client relationships and driving profitable growth.

Working directly with the business owners and alongside our experienced field and office staff, you'll develop a thorough understanding of our services, capabilities and customers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Proactively identify and secure new business opportunities across civil, construction, commercial, strata and government sectors.

• Build strong, long-term relationships with existing and prospective clients.

• Develop connections with civil contractors, builders, developers, project managers and key decision-makers.

• Understand customers’ needs and identify opportunities to introduce additional services.

• Identify upcoming projects, contracts and opportunities for growth.

• Collaborate with our experienced field staff and business owners to understand client requirements, develop practical solutions and secure profitable work.

• Manage your sales pipeline, follow up opportunities and take ownership of results.

About You

We're looking for someone who brings more than just sales experience.

You’ll be someone who:

• Builds genuine relationships - You're confident, approachable and naturally connect with people from all walks of life, adapting your communication style to suit the situation.

• Has drive and initiative - You're self-motivated, proactive and actively seek opportunities rather than waiting for them.

• Is commercially minded - You understand the importance of profitable growth and long-term customer relationships.

• Is practical and resourceful - You think on your feet, ask the right questions and recognise opportunities others might miss.

• Is a team player - You work well with others, respect the knowledge of our field staff and contribute positively to the team.

• Takes ownership - You're organised, accountable and follow through on your commitments.

You’ll have a demonstrated ability to generate new business, develop lasting customer relationships and deliver results.

Experience in business development, B2B sales or relationship management, particularly within construction, plumbing, civil works, trade services or facilities management, would be highly regarded.

Established industry relationships would be a significant advantage, but we're equally interested in exceptional sales professionals from other industries who have the drive, initiative and relationship-building skills to succeed.

What We Offer

• Attractive salary plus performance-based bonuses.

• Fully maintained company vehicle, phone and laptop.

• An established, respected local business with a strong reputation and established customer base.

• Autonomy & flexibility to manage your business development activities & take ownership of your results.

• Direct communication with the business owners and an experienced, knowledgeable team.

• A supportive, down-to-earth team environment.

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you're an ambitious, personable and results-driven professional who enjoys building relationships, identifying opportunities and helping businesses grow, we'd love to hear from you.
