Job description

At BSA Group, we don't just adapt to change — we drive it.

BSA Group is a family-owned business that's been part of the Australian wholesale, electrical and power industry for over 40 years. We look after our customers, and we look after our people. We're now looking for someone to join our South Australian team and take ownership of an established, thriving portfolio.

An opportunity has arisen in our South Australian office located in Welland for a FullTime Business Development and Industrial Sales role.

About the role:

This is a relationship first role. You'll take the reins of an existing account base, get to know your customers, and grow from there, both within your existing portfolio and into new sectors across SA. We want someone who genuinely understands the products they're selling, because our customers rely on that expertise, and because it's a lot more rewarding to sell something you actually know well.

We're looking for someone who wants to build something here, get to know their customers, become the person they call first, and grow with us over the long term.

Our immediate expectation is to see you settled into your portfolio, building relationships that last, opening doors into new markets, and feeling genuinely confident across our product range.

What you'll be doing:

Building and growing relationships across an established account base.

Finding and pursuing new opportunities across wholesaler, commercial, infrastructure, and contractor sectors.

Giving customers real technical guidance on battery, UPS, and DC power solutions, backed by genuine product knowledge.

Preparing quotes and proposals that reflect that knowledge, not just a sales pitch.

Working closely with our internal team so you're supported in delivering for your customers.

What you'll bring:

Hands on knowledge of batteries, UPS systems or electrical/power products. This is essential in the role. We’re only able to consider applicants who have an establish knowledge base or previous experience.

Proven experience in BDM or technical sales, ideally within electrical, power or industrial sectors.

A genuine relationship builder, someone who thinks beyond the first sale and enjoys being the trusted go to person for their clients.

Clear communication and a practical, solutions minded approach to problem solving.

Why you'll enjoy working at BSA Group:

A strong, above market salary package, transparent from the start, no guesswork.

The security of joining a genuinely stable, family-owned business with 40 years behind it and a national footprint ahead of it.

Real autonomy in how you manage your territory and portfolio.
