Andatech Safety Pacific Sdn Bhd – Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
We're looking for a Business Development Manager to build Andatech's presence in Malaysia from the ground up. This is a genuine market-building role, not territory management.
Andatech specialises in alcohol and drug testing technology, and is trusted by workplaces across mining, oil & gas, transport, logistics, construction and manufacturing to keep their people safe. We're growing our presence in Malaysia, and we need someone who can win new business and build out our customer base.
What you'll be doing:Building a target account map across high-risk industries and generating new business through direct prospecting, industry events, and referrals
Owning the full sales cycle from qualification through to close
Identifying and appointing resellers/distributors across Malaysia
Registering for and responding to relevant tenders and panel opportunities
Growing existing accounts through consumables reorders, calibration renewals, and cross-selling
Reporting directly to our Managing Director
What you'll need:5+ years in B2B sales or business development, with a track record of opening new accounts from scratch
Experience selling technical or regulated products, such as safety, industrial, medical device, or technology
Comfort operating independently with no existing pipeline, no local marketing support, no team for the first several months
Technical fluency: you understand and explain confidently about installation and calibration
Fluent in English and Bahasa Malaysia
Valid Malaysian driving licence and own vehicle
Existing relationships in mining, oil & gas, or transport safety procurement
Experience appointing and managing resellers or distributors
Experience helping launch a business in a new country or market
This role suits someone resilient, self-directed, and genuinely motivated by the safety outcome, not just the sale. The first two quarters will mean a lot of activity before the results show up, so patience matters.
We offer a competitive base salary plus performance-based commission, a travel allowance, and the chance to build and eventually lead a local team as the business grows.
