About Us

Lubricant Specialists Australia (LSA Oils) is a proudly Australian-owned and privately operated national lubricant manufacturer with blending facilities located in Victoria and Western Australia.

We manufacture and market a comprehensive range of premium lubricants and greases across the Civil, Automotive, Industrial, Commercial, Mining, and Agricultural sectors through our trusted brands including LSA Oils, Phoenix Lubricants and Synforce Lubricants.

As we continue to expand our presence throughout Western Australia, we are investing heavily in our mining division and seeking an experienced professional to help drive our growth within the resources sector.

Reporting directly to the General Manager, this strategic role will focus on identifying, developing, and securing opportunities with mining companies, contractors, maintenance providers, and industrial service businesses throughout the state.

This is not a traditional sales role.

We are looking for an experienced industry professional with a strong background in the lubricants sector. You'll have a thorough understanding of the mining industry, and the ability to position LSA as a trusted technical and commercial partner within one of Australia's most important sectors.

You'll be given the autonomy, support, and resources to build a significant portfolio while playing a key role in shaping our mining strategy and driving the continued growth of a dynamic and rapidly expanding Australian company.

What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and execute a growth strategy for the WA mining sector
• Build and maintain relationships with mining companies, contractors, procurement teams, maintenance managers, and reliability engineers
• Identify and secure new business opportunities across Tier 1, Tier 2, and contractor operations
• Promote LSA's range of premium lubricant and grease solutions into mining applications
• Manage key customer accounts and develop long-term partnerships
• Work closely with technical and operational teams to deliver exceptional customer outcomes
• Monitor market activity, competitor movements, and emerging opportunities within the resources sector
• Represent LSA at industry events, trade shows, and networking functions
• Contribute to the ongoing development of our mining strategy and product offerings

About You

• We're seeking an experienced business development professional with a proven track record within the Lubricants industry.
• Minimum 5+ years' experience in mining, industrial, technical sales, or business development roles
• Established relationships within the WA mining sector
• Demonstrated success winning and growing major accounts
• Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
• The ability to engage effectively with stakeholders ranging from site personnel through to senior management and procurement teams
• A self-driven, entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for building something meaningful
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• A current driver's licence and willingness to travel throughout Western Australia

What's In It For You?

• Base salary + Superannuation
• Attractive performance-based bonus structure
• Fully maintained company vehicle
• Tools of trade provided
• Genuine autonomy to shape and grow the mining division
• Opportunity to work directly with senior leadership and influence business strategy
• Join a growing Australian manufacturer with national operations and long-term ambitions
• Career progression opportunities as the business continues to expand

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you have a strong background in the lubricants sector, industry knowledge, and drive to help build one of Western Australia's emerging lubricant suppliers within the mining sector, we would love to hear from you.

Join a proudly Australian business where your contribution will directly influence growth, strategy, and success for years to come.
