Job description

Business Development Manager (Industrial Equipment) | $100K–$120K + Super | $160K–$200K OTE | Company Car | Onsite + Field

Since 1965, GHE Lifting has had one job: eliminating manual handling and workplace injuries.

They design, build, install and service custom lifting equipment for manufacturers, food producers and steel operators across Australia. Their service contracts keep that equipment safe and running.

They recently acquired another business, and trading is strong. The leads are there. The existing clients are there. What's missing is someone to work them.

Why this role?

• $100K–$120K base + super, $160K–$200K OTE, with uncapped commission on every service contract you win


• Team bonus program linked to company EBITA performance


• Company car, because a lot of the job happens on client sites


• A premium product backed by a warm pipeline: hundreds of existing clients who bought GHE equipment, a new client book from a recent acquisition, and inbound leads nobody has followed up yet


• You report directly to the owner, with fast decisions and full visibility of the numbers


• A clear path to grow your career.


• Once the service pipeline is healthy, a potential pathway into capital project sales


• Potential progression into a Sales Leadership role, leading the future growth of our service and project sales division.

What you'll actually do

• Own the service sales pipeline from first call to signed contract


• Work the existing client base and turn inbound leads into new business


• Build relationships with MDs, GMs and business owners


• Put together proposals and close deals based on value


• Keep up a high level of activity by phone and face to face


• Grow existing accounts and spot opportunities for new equipment

Who this suits

• You've sold service contracts or technical products to industrial businesses


• You’re hungry, humble, and smart


• You can explain how you've won a deal at a higher price than the competitor


• You know your activity numbers, not just your revenue


• You take feedback and act on it


• You hold a current driver's license

Why it's different

GHE has been around for more than 60 years and has grown entirely on reputation. They've never done any proactive marketing. They design and build their own equipment, and the work they do keeps people safe at work.

The business empowers people to make decisions and get things done, is open about its numbers and growing through acquisition. You'd be joining a company with a long track record that's still moving quickly.
