Job description

Dove Electronics is a New Zealand-owned IT distributor with a proud history since 1984 and offices in Christchurch, Auckland, and Wellington. We’ve built a strong reputation, a loyal customer base, and a great culture that people enjoy being part of.

We’re now looking for a long-term Industrial Computing & IoT Product Specialist — a technically minded, commercially aware person who enjoys solving problems and building trusted relationships.

The Role

You’ll become our in-house expert for Industrial Computing and IoT technologies — including machine vision, industrial automation, embedded computing, and industrial HPC.

Working with internal teams, customers, and suppliers, you’ll help specify, source, and deliver solutions that meet demanding industrial requirements.

We’re open to varying levels of experience — what matters most is your technical curiosity, ability to learn, and confidence communicating complex ideas clearly to both engineers and businesspeople.

What You’ll Bring

• A strong aptitude for learning technical details of Industrial Computing and IoT products.
• A qualification in engineering, computing, or a related field is an advantage.
• Good communication and relationship-building skills — you listen carefully and build trust.
• Commercial awareness — you balance customer needs, supplier relationships, and good business sense.
• A collaborative, project-oriented approach with an appreciation for product lifecycles and long-term customer requirements.
• A genuine interest in technology, industrial systems, and problem-solving.
• A team spirit — willing to pitch in and support colleagues across the business when needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Be the go-to product expert for Dove’s Industrial Computing & IoT range.
• Support customers with solution design and specification.
• Develop and maintain strong supplier relationships, leveraging their expertise for customer projects.
• Manage stock, project orders, and ensure timely product availability.
• Respond promptly and competently to customer enquiries.
• Collaborate closely with the wider sales team to deliver great outcomes.
• Travel occasionally to meet key customers and suppliers.

You’ll receive ongoing support and guidance to grow into the role — success here comes from curiosity, initiative, and professionalism, not just prior experience.

Why Dove?

At Dove, you’ll join a down-to-earth, supportive team where people are treated fairly and valued for what they do.

We’re proud of our low staff turnover, our company-wide quarterly bonus, and our commitment to shared success — no individual sales commissions, because everyone contributes.

Benefits include:

• Company performance bonus (quarterly)
• Regular company-funded social events
• A stable, friendly environment with long-term staff
• Office-based work with flexibility for valid circumstances

Applicants must currently reside in New Zealand and have the right to work here.
