• Build trusted relationships through site visits, customer meetings and in office engagement, with some travel across Australia as the relationships need it

• You’ve sold into the mining industry, ideally with established customer relationships across the APAC region
• You have software or technical sales experience with a track record of success across both new-logo acquisition and account expansion
• You’re a strong communicator and presenter who builds relationships easily
• You’re happy to build relationships face to face, out in the field and in the office

Bonus points for:

• Experience selling mining peripherals, such as machine control or fleet technology
