You know construction. You know the pressure. And you know how to deliver when it counts.

There’s a lot riding on getting the right equipment to site, fast. That’s where you come in.

This newly created Key Account Manager role is built for someone who’s walked sites, managed relationships under pressure, and understands that when machines stop, projects stall. If you're driven, hands-on, and ready to step into a role where your impact is immediate and real, this could be it.

Based in Ingleburn. $130,000-$150,000 + Super + Car + Comms

  • You’ll be out on-site regularly, checking in, seeing what’s needed, and making sure everything runs smoothly
  • You’ll build strong relationships with the people who matter: site supervisors, PMs, and procurement teams
  • You’ll recommend smart, fit-for-purpose solutions from a seriously impressive hire fleet
  • You’ll spot opportunities to add value, whether it’s upselling, cross-selling, or just showing up when others don’t
  • And most importantly, you’ll become the person clients trust to keep their sites moving

What You Bring:

  • Experience managing key accounts in civil construction or equipment hire
  • Confidence walking onto a job site and speaking the same language as the crew
  • Strong follow-up and pipeline discipline, you don’t let things slip through the cracks
  • Professional, practical, and always thinking one step ahead
  • Skilled in solution selling, negotiating, and getting deals across the line
  • Comfortable with CRM systems and Microsoft tools

What You’ll Get:

  • Competitive salary + 11.5% super
  • A cut of branch profits, your wins count here
  • Company vehicle, fuel card, and all the tools you need
  • A team culture that genuinely backs you, no fluff, just support
  • Plus, employee perks like discounts, cashback offers, and regular recognition

You know how important the right hire partner is to a site. If you're ready to be that partner, and ready to be rewarded for it, this is your chance.

A great role for someone who knows this space and wants to take ownership.
