Job description

Overview

Join to apply for the Business Development Manager - Attachments role at Schlam Payload

Schlam is where innovation meets muscle. We build payload solutions that miners don’t just use - they rely on. Our Barracuda Buckets are engineered to bite harder, dig deeper and last longer than the competition. They’ve become a name miners ask for because they deliver productivity gains that can’t be ignored. Pair that with our Hercules Truck Beds, designed to withstand punishing loads while maximizing payload capacity, and you’ve got a product suite that’s rewriting the standards of mining performance.

We’re not just supplying equipment, we’re setting the benchmark for what mining attachments and truck beds should deliver. Now, we’re ready to expand our dominance in the Americas.

About The Role

This is your opportunity to be more than a salesperson. As Business Development Manager - Attachments, you’ll be the driving force behind our Barracuda Buckets and Attachments across the Americas.

Your mission is simple but powerful: own the market.

Build relationships with the biggest names in mining, win high-value deals and embed Schlam Payload products as the first choice for buckets and attachments across American mine sites.

This isn’t about order-taking. It’s about building influence, setting the pace and being the name clients think of when they want productivity and reliability on their sites.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Command the market: Position Barracuda Buckets and Attachments as the default choice for mining operators across the Americas.
• Win big deals: Drive capital sales, refurbishment projects and rebuild programs that directly impact client productivity.
• Shape strategy in the field: Turn site visits and client conversations into actionable intelligence that shapes pricing, product development and go-to-market plans.
• Be the trusted advisor: Work alongside mine managers, engineers and executives to tailor solutions that solve real problems and keep competitors locked out.
• Drive face-to-face influence: Travel across the Americas to build trust where it matters most, on the ground and in the boardroom.
• Control the pipeline: Own CRM discipline, ensuring visibility and accuracy on every opportunity and use that data to stay three steps ahead.
• Deliver visible impact: Every deal you close strengthens Schlam’s reputation and cements your role as the person who brought Barracuda and Hercules to the forefront of the market.

About You

You’re not a passive account manager. You’re a hunter with deep mining knowledge and the credibility to back it up.

• Experienced in technical sales with a proven record of closing large, complex deals.
• Confident in heavy equipment and mining attachments including buckets, loaders, shovels, excavators, truck bodies.
• Commercially sharp - pricing, margins and negotiations are where you thrive.
• Skilled at influencing across every level, from engineers on-site to executives in corporate offices.
• Comfortable working independently, disciplined with reporting and relentless in pursuing growth.
• Ideally, you bring a Mechanical Engineering background (MBA a bonus).

Why Work for Schlam?

At Schlam, you’re not selling commodities. You’re carrying two of the strongest product names in the industry: Barracuda and Hercules.

• Proven products: You’re not convincing clients of a concept, you’re showing them solutions already trusted globally.
• Real growth: Be part of a rapidly expanding team with scope for career progression built in.
• Direct impact: Your wins shape Schlam’s footprint across the Americas.
• Innovation at your back: Sell with confidence knowing engineering and lifecycle teams are behind you.
