Job description

Technical Field Representative -Pukekohe

We are seeking a Technical Field Representative (TFR) to join our team in the South Auckland/ Pukekohe Region. Embrace a unique work-life balance while contributing your skills to a thriving community and enjoying the outdoors.

You might already be in the region or elsewhere in the country, looking for a change in lifestyle and a new challenge!

We have a huge area of growth in the agricultural space, and our farmers need your support! We are seeking a driven individual to identify and cultivate new business opportunities, while also supporting existing customers/growers. This role would be perfect for someone from a farming or agri background, blended with proven business development and sales expertise.

What you'll get up to:

As a Technical Field Representative, you'll provide technical and industry expertise to assist farmers in developing profitable and sustainable business solutions.

This role involves travelling throughout the region, providing technical and sales advice to existing customers/farmers/growers as well as canvassing new opportunities. You'll also work alongside the local store team and the broader business by sharing knowledge and offering practical sales support. You'll be someone who can be a part of a farmer's business, both big and small, identify crop and field issues and offer fit-for-purpose advice, solutions and products that support a customers' goals.

Sound like a bit of you?... You may not tick all the boxes, but the list below will give you a good idea of what background we are looking for.

• A seasoned sales rep - in a different industry (who happens to know their way around a farm)
• Someone who grew up on a farm, and can also network and has a knack for building excellent relationships
• Or maybe you've got it all, and are looking for a shift, and to work for a company with a good culture and who care for their people

Our wish list of skills and experience;

• Broad knowledge of the New Zealand Agriculture sector or onsite/field/farming experience
• Confidence in relationships and developing new business
• Strong customer solutions focus
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Reasonable fitness, as some heavy lifting and physical work can be required.
• Full, current and clean New Zealand driver licence (essential)

What's in it for you?

Not just a great team, but we are committed to our employees' growth and developing leadership and technical expertise at every level. We offer extensive in-house sales and technical training, along with a competitive, comprehensive remuneration package made up of a decent base salary, an achievable incentive plan to earn extra $ on top of your base salary, a Ute (practical generous usage agreement), and other standard tools of trade.

In a competitive agricultural and horticultural market, we stand out for our proud heritage, nationwide reach, deep and longstanding customer relationships, and technical expertise. Grounded in Experience - from season to season, we've been working alongside farmers for over 175 years.
