Job description

Hydrautech has been servicing Ballarat and the surrounding region for over 30 years.

From agriculture and transport to earthmoving, manufacturing and heavy industry, Hydrautech has built its reputation on quality workmanship, technical expertise and outstanding customer service. With a modern workshop, specialist equipment, fully equipped mobile service vehicles and access to leading hydraulic brands, Hydrautech has become one of Ballarat's most trusted hydraulic specialists.

Due to continued growth, Workforce Extensions Ballarat is proud to be recruiting a Sales Manager on behalf of Hydrautech.

This is a key leadership opportunity for an experienced sales professional who enjoys being involved in the day to day operation of a business. You'll take responsibility for leading the sales team, managing sales budgets and performance, overseeing ordering functions and helping drive the continued growth of Hydrautech.

Why Join Hydrautech?

This is an opportunity to join an established and well respected Ballarat business at an exciting stage of its growth. You'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact, working closely with senior management and the sales team to develop customers, improve processes and identify new opportunities.

You'll be supported by an experienced technical team and a business with an established reputation across agriculture, transport, earthmoving, manufacturing and industrial sectors.

About the Role

As Sales Manager, you'll take responsibility for the day to day leadership and performance of the sales team while remaining actively involved with customers and the broader business.

Your responsibilities will include leading and supporting the sales team, monitoring sales performance and budgets, coordinating ordering and purchasing functions, managing supplier relationships and supporting customer growth and new business opportunities.

You'll also be involved in setting sales priorities, reviewing opportunities, identifying areas for growth and helping ensure the sales team has the systems, information and support required to perform effectively.

This is a hands on management role. You'll be expected to lead from the front, build strong relationships with customers and suppliers, support your team and work closely with other areas of the business to ensure sales commitments are delivered.

About You

We're looking for an experienced sales professional with strong leadership and commercial skills. You'll ideally have previous experience managing a sales team and be comfortable working with budgets, ordering, suppliers and sales performance.

Experience within hydraulics, engineering, manufacturing, automotive, industrial or a related technical environment would be highly regarded. More importantly, you'll be commercially minded, organised and confident dealing with customers, suppliers and your own team.

You'll be a natural leader who can build relationships, hold people accountable and create a positive team environment. You'll also be comfortable getting involved in the detail when required rather than simply managing from the sidelines.

The Hydrautech Difference

Hydrautech has built its reputation through quality workmanship, technical expertise and genuine customer relationships. With the business continuing to grow, this role provides an opportunity for an experienced sales leader to have a real influence on the next stage of that growth.

If you're looking for a leadership role where you can make a genuine difference, work with an established Ballarat business and help shape the future direction of its sales operation, we'd love to hear from you.
