Job description

Territory Sales Representative – Golf & Turf Industry

Passionate about golf, turf and machinery? Turn your industry knowledge into a rewarding sales career!

We're looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Territory Sales Representative to join our team, servicing an established network of golf courses and commercial turf maintenance customers across Victoria and South Australia.

Whether you're an experienced sales professional or a greenkeeper looking for a new career direction, this could be the opportunity for you!

About Us

We're a proudly Australian, family-owned business and an established market leader in the wholesale distribution of outdoor power equipment, parts and accessories for over 40 years.

With warehouses in every Australian capital city, we combine the strength of a national distribution network with the personal service and values of a family business.

The Opportunity

Based in or around Melbourne, you'll manage an established customer territory covering Greater Melbourne, Geelong and Bellarine, Daylesford, Yarra Valley, Mornington Penninsula, The Goldfields, The Grampians, The Murray, High Country, Gippsland regions and beyond.

You'll be out on the road, building relationships with golf course superintendents, greenkeepers and commercial turf maintenance professionals, providing products and solutions to meet their needs.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and growing an established customer base while developing new business opportunities.
• Building strong, long-term relationships with customers.
• Promoting and selling our extensive range of equipment, mechanical parts, accessories and specialist greenkeeping products.
• Providing practical product advice and solutions.
• Planning your territory and working towards sales targets.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people, understands the industry and has a genuine passion for golf, turf and machinery.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience in greenkeeping, golf course maintenance, turf management, outdoor power equipment or related sales.
• Sound mechanical aptitude and product knowledge.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive, self-motivated attitude and the ability to work independently.
• A current driver's licence and willingness to travel throughout your territory.

Sales experience is highly regarded but not essential. If you're an experienced greenkeeper or turf professional looking for a change, we'd love to hear from you!

What's in It for You?

• Guaranteed base salary plus monthly commission.
• Fully maintained company vehicle.
• Established customer base with opportunities for growth.
• Autonomy and flexibility to manage your own territory.
• National distribution support and an experienced management team.
• Long-term career opportunity with a stable, family-owned Australian business.

A Role That Fits the Industry

Golf course maintenance starts early, and so does your customer base!

This is a primarily Monday-to-Friday role, with early starts and finishes often part of the working day. You'll enjoy the freedom to manage your schedule while ensuring customers receive the service they need.

Reporting to the Commercial Sales Manager, you'll work independently with the backing of an established and supportive team.
