Business Development Manager – Industrial / Power Transmission
Queensland – Brisbane, Mackay, Rockhampton or flexible QLD location
About the Company
My client is a long-established, family-owned European manufacturer with a strong global presence and an excellent reputation for high-quality engineered products.
Operating for approximately 100 years and employing more than 2,500 people globally, the business specialises in technically engineered solutions for heavy industrial applications. Its products are used across mining, bulk materials handling, conveyors, steel, manufacturing and other demanding industrial environments.
The Australian operation is well established and entering an exciting phase of growth, including plans to expand its local product offering, stockholding and customer support capabilities.
The Role
An opportunity is available for an experienced Business Development Manager to take responsibility for developing and growing the Queensland market.
Working autonomously from a home office, the successful candidate will build relationships with industrial end users across Queensland while identifying and developing new business opportunities within mining, materials handling, heavy industry and manufacturing.
This is a technically focused business development role where understanding the customer's application, equipment and operating challenges is critical. It will suit someone who enjoys being on site, developing long-term relationships and providing engineered solutions rather than simply selling from a catalogue.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Developing and growing the Queensland territory
- Identifying and converting new business opportunities
- Managing and developing existing customer relationships
- Selling engineered industrial products and solutions directly to end users
- Developing business across mining, conveyors, bulk materials handling, manufacturing and heavy industry
- Building relationships with maintenance, engineering, reliability and operational teams
- Understanding customer applications and providing technical and commercial solutions
- Preparing quotations and managing opportunities through longer sales cycles
- Working closely with international engineering and manufacturing teams
- Travelling regularly throughout Queensland
- Managing the territory independently from a home-based office
About You
The ideal candidate will have proven business development or technical sales experience within industrial or engineered mechanical products.
Experience across one or more of the following would be highly regarded:
- Power transmission
- Industrial or conveyor chain
- Conveyors and materials handling
- Bearings
- Gearboxes and mechanical drives
- Couplings and sprockets
- Bulk materials handling
- Mining and mineral processing equipment
- Engineered mechanical components
- Heavy industrial products
Direct chain experience is not essential. Candidates with strong technical sales experience in adjacent industrial products and the ability to understand engineered applications are encouraged to apply.
The successful person will be commercially driven, technically capable and comfortable working with a high degree of autonomy. Strong self-management, follow-through and the ability to build credible relationships with industrial customers will be essential.
What's on Offer
- Highly competitive salary package
- Generous car allowance
- Superannuation
- Laptop, mobile phone and required business equipment
- Home-based and highly autonomous position
- Flexibility to be based in Brisbane, Mackay, Rockhampton or another suitable Queensland location
- Established international manufacturer with a strong engineering reputation
- Direct access to senior Australian leadership
- Opportunity to play an important role in growing the Queensland market
- Genuine long-term career development potential as the Australian operation expands
- Supportive, relationship-driven family business culture
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced industrial business development professional looking for a role where they can genuinely influence the growth of a territory and become an important part of the organisation's longer-term Australian plans.
