Job description

Join a successful, privately owned Australian company that has been operating for nearly 80 years. Due to continued growth, the company has created a new opportunity for an energetic and commercially driven Technical Sales Engineer to develop machinery and plant sales across Australia.

The company supplies specialised equipment and complete plants, including mesh welding machinery, asphalt plants and cement plants. It is currently involved in several exciting multimillion-dollar projects, including major opportunities in Brisbane and Perth.

Based in Melbourne with flexibility to work from home, visiting the office once a week, you will inherit an existing account base while also developing new business nationally. Travel will be required as customer and project opportunities arise.

You will have the autonomy to develop your own sales strategy, pursue new markets and potentially introduce complementary products to the business.

The Role

• Manage and grow an established customer portfolio.
• Develop new machinery and plant opportunities across Australia.
• Manage complex, high-value sales through extended project cycles.
• Build relationships with technical and commercial decision-makers.
• Prepare proposals and coordinate with technical teams and suppliers.
• Identify new markets, applications and potential product offerings.

About You

You will be energetic, self-driven and motivated by the financial rewards available from successful project sales.

You will bring:

• Sales or technical customer-facing experience in an industrial market.
• Experience with substantial, high-value or project-based sales.
• Strong business development and relationship-building skills.
• Technical aptitude and the ability to understand complex equipment.
• The patience and discipline to manage longer sales cycles.
• A willingness to travel throughout Australia when required.

Experience selling industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment or complete plants would be highly regarded. This role requires experience with major sales opportunities, not solely lower-value components or transactional solutions.

Why Join?

• Join an Australian-owned company with decades of history.
• Take ownership of a newly created national position.
• Work with existing accounts while building new business.
• Enjoy flexible working and genuine commercial autonomy.
• Benefit from a highly lucrative commission structure.
• Good back office support allowing you to do what you do well, and sell.

This is an opportunity to shape the role, build a valuable customer base and benefit financially from the business you develop.
