Job description

Our client is a respected solutions and equipment business servicing customers across industrial, infrastructure and trade-related sectors.

Due to growth, they are looking to appoint an Account Manager to help grow their presence across the Christchurch and wider South Island market.

This newly created role offers plenty of autonomy and would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities and developing a territory.

The successful person will ideally bring:

• Experience in industrial, rental, trade or solution sales
• Strong relationship-building capability and the ability to build credibility with customers
• Good mechanical aptitude and confidence understanding equipment, applications and how solutions work in the field
• Commercial awareness with the ability to identify opportunities and add value for customers
• A proactive approach to business development and someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships and growing a territory
• Energy, initiative and the ability to work autonomously
• Resilience and adaptability within a fast-moving environment
• NZ Citizenship or Residency

This is a consultative sales role where you will work closely with customers around equipment, applications and tailored solutions while building and growing long‑term customer relationships.

A strong local network across contractors, industrial clients or trade-related sectors would be highly advantageous.

The territory covers the wider South Island, therefore some overnight travel will be required. This is expected to average approximately 3–6 nights per month depending on customer demand and seasonal requirements.

In return, you’ll be joining a growing and well-backed business offering a competitive salary package, monthly bonuses, company vehicle and the opportunity to really put your own stamp on the role.
