The role blends strategic business development and technical solution selling, requiring someone comfortable working at every stage of the project lifecycle—from feasibility and specification through to delivery and commissioning.

This is a national role with flexible location options (North or South Island). You’ll spend part of your time working remotely and the rest travelling to client sites and project locations across the country.

• Develop strong relationships with asset owners, contractors, EPCs, EPCMs, and consulting engineers.
• Represent the company at trade shows, conferences, and technical forums.
• Conduct client presentations, site visits, and equipment demonstrations, supporting feasibility and test-work discussions.
• Collaborate with internal engineering and project teams to develop proposals, quotations, and tenders.
• Provide accurate sales forecasts, market intelligence, and pipeline reporting.
• Maintain deep product knowledge across dewatering, filtration, and water-management technologies.
• Travel frequently throughout New Zealand, with occasional international travel to Australia and Asia for training, conferences, or client engagement.

CANDIDATE PROFILE

We’re seeking a technically capable sales professional experienced in capital equipment or process-solution sales within the mining, quarrying, aggregates, or industrial markets.

You’ll ideally bring experience in wet processing, dewatering, or mineral processing systems, though candidates from related capital-equipment sectors such as pumps, filtration, crushing/screening, or plant solutions are encouraged to apply.

Requirements:

• Proven success in business development or account management of technical or capital-equipment solutions.
• Background or familiarity with mineral processing, dewatering, or industrial process systems.
• Tertiary qualifications in Engineering (Process, Mechanical, or Chemical) preferred.
• Strong commercial acumen and ability to manage long-cycle project sales.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and client-relationship skills.
• Self-motivated, organised, and comfortable working autonomously.
• Full New Zealand driver’s licence and unrestricted working rights.
• Willingness to travel regularly across NZ.
