Who are we looking for?

There are two backgrounds that could be particularly well suited to this opportunity.

Option 1 - Mechanical Engineer / Project Engineer looking to move into sales

Perhaps you've spent the last few years working in mechanical engineering, project engineering or applications engineering and are now looking for a more commercially focused, customer-facing career.

You understand mechanical equipment, engineering principles and industrial applications, but would like to develop your skills in business development, account management and technical sales.

This business is open to training the right person and doesn't necessarily expect you to arrive with an established sales track record.

Option 2 - Experienced Technical Salesperson

Alternatively, you may already be working in technical sales within an industrial environment and be looking for your next opportunity.

Relevant backgrounds could include:

• Bearings and power transmission.
• Pumps, valves and rotating equipment.
• Mining and mineral processing equipment.
• Industrial machinery and mechanical engineering.
• Power generation and heavy industrial equipment.
• Oil & gas and associated engineering solutions.

Regardless of your background, you'll ideally bring:

• A mechanical engineering qualification, mechanical trade background or relevant industrial experience.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A genuine interest in understanding technical products and solving customer problems.
• A proactive approach to developing customer relationships.
• A grounded, humble personality and willingness to learn.

The business

You'll be joining a specialist, privately owned engineering business with a long-standing reputation in the industrial bearing market.

It's a smaller, close-knit team where people genuinely value doing good work, looking after customers and treating others well.

This isn't a corporate environment full of egos or unnecessary layers of management. They're looking for someone genuine, technically capable, and keen to contribute to the business over the long term.

What's on offer?

• $100,000-$130,000 base salary + Super.
• Fully maintained company vehicle.
• Bonus structure.
• Technical product training and ongoing development.
• Opportunity to transition from engineering into a commercial sales career.
• A supportive, close-knit working environment.
• Opportunity to develop relationships across some of Australia's largest industrial sectors.
