Job description

I’m working with an established specialist within the passive fire protection market looking to appoint a Technical Sales Representative to their Sydney team.

This is a technical, project-based sales role where you’ll be developing relationships, identifying opportunities, providing product advice and supporting projects from specification through to completion.

You’ll be dealing with:

• Architects and architectural practices.
• Fire engineers and building services engineers.
• Builders and developers.
• Distributors and trade customers.

The product range will include:

• Fire-rated sealants, mastics and mortars.
• Fire collars, sleeves, wraps and penetration systems.
• Fire-rated boards, access panels and cavity barriers.
• Duct, service and penetration protection.
• Intumescent and fire-rated coatings.

You’ll be involved in identifying projects, developing relationships, providing technical product advice, assisting with specifications and helping customers select the right systems for their projects.

About You:

You could be a Technical Sales Representative, BDM, Account Manager, Specification Manager, Sales Engineer or similar.

I’m particularly interested in people who understand technical products, construction and project-based sales and are comfortable having conversations with architects, engineers, builders and contractors.

A knowledge of the NCC, Australian Standards, fire-rated systems or construction documentation would be highly regarded.

That said, if you have strong technical building-product sales experience and are looking to move further into the fire sector, I’d also like to hear from you.

You may currently be working in:

• Fire Doors or Fire-rated Products
• Construction Chemicals
• Sealants / Adhesives
• Waterproofing
• Protective or Intumescent Coatings
• Building Products
• Insulation
• HVAC / Mechanical Building Services
• Technical Construction Sales

What’s On Offer:

• $100K – $130K Base + Super
• Attractive Commission Structure
• Flexible working arrangements combining office, home and field-based activities.
• Autonomy across your own territory

About Me:

I’m David Hamilton, a Registered Architect (NSW Reg. No. 11571) who moved into specialist Architectural Sales Recruitment after more than 15 years working in architectural practice.

I now specialise in recruiting sales professionals across architecture, construction and building products.

My architectural background means I understand the difference between simply selling a product and being able to have a meaningful technical conversation with an architect, engineer, builder or contractor about how that product fits into a project.

If you’re currently working in fire, passive fire, construction products or another technical building-products sector and you’re interested in having a confidential conversation, get in touch.

*All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
