Job description

I'm working with an established supplier of architectural hardware and component-based building products used across residential and commercial projects in Sydney.

This is a customer-facing role where you'll be dealing with builders, trades, installers, shopfitters and other industry customers, helping them select products, prepare quotes and get orders out the door.

You’ll also develop a strong understanding of a technical product range, with the opportunity to progress into external sales and account management.

What you'll be doing:

• Counter and phone sales to trade customers
• Preparing quotes and processing orders
• Helping customers select the right products
• Answering technical product enquiries
• Dealing with builders, installers and trades
• Working with warehouse and internal sales teams
• Building product knowledge and customer relationships

Who I'd like to speak with:

You could be coming from:

• Trade counter or technical sales
• Doors, windows, cabinetry or joinery
• Building supplies or construction products
• Locksmithing
• Building or carpentry and looking to get off the tools
• Architecture or design and looking to move into sales
• Another technical building product environment

You don't need architectural hardware experience.

What matters more is that you understand how the building industry works, are comfortable dealing with trades and customers, and have the ability and interest to learn technical products.

What's on offer:

• $75K–$95K + Super + Bonus
• Monday–Friday role
• Strong product training
• Established business and customer base
• Technical architectural product range
• Genuine pathway into external sales / account management

This could be a particularly good move for someone who has spent their career on the tools and is ready for a change, or an existing trade salesperson looking to build a career in architectural sales.

About me:

I'm David Hamilton, a Registered Architect (NSW Reg No. 11571) who moved into specialist Architectural Sales Recruitment.

Having worked in architecture and now recruiting across architectural and building product sales, I understand both sides of the conversation — the products, the people using them and what makes someone successful in sales.

If you think your background could fit, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
