Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

The team at Southland Electrical and Refrigeration is looking for a proactive, relationship‑driven Sales Rep to support our existing customers and drive new sales growth across the region.

Southland Electrical & Refrigeration Ltd is a well‑established local business which supports residential, commercial, industrial, and rural customers with reliable installation, maintenance and 24/7 emergency call‑outs. We’re known for quality workmanship, friendly service and practical solutions.

If you enjoy building strong relationships with customers and industry partners, this role offers plenty of variety and room to grow.

About the role

You’ll be building relationships and nurturing the existing customer base and importantly growing new customers across commercial, domestic and (in time) dairy. You’ll understand their heating, electrical and refrigeration needs and prepare clear quotes, offer practical advice, and ensure they’re supported throughout the process.

You’ll also help grow sales and build brand visibility through simple social media marketing posts and will be representing the business at sales and industry events such as field days and home shows.

About you

To be successful in this role you’ll ideally bring proven sales experience and be motivated by achieving targets. You’ll have the ability to quickly build service and product knowledge to understand our customers’ needs and provide them with practical solutions.

You’re a confident communicator who builds rapport easily and takes a proactive approach to identifying new business opportunities.

You’ll have:

Genuine passion for sales and customer service, ideally with proven success in a previous role

Confidence engaging with homeowners, tradies and industry professionals

Strong communication skills and a solutions‑focused approach

Ability to work independently and manage your time well

Competence using CRM systems, quoting tools and standard digital applications

A clean driver’s licence and willingness to travel across Southland

Ideally you’ll also have some practical mechanical or electrical aptitude, but this is not essential.

A trusted local brand with strong customer loyalty

Varied work — no two days the same

Opportunities to grow your skills and expand into new sectors

If you’re self‑motivated, relationship driven and ready to help drive business growth, this could be the role for you!

This is a full‑time position, working Monday to Friday.
