- Mount Wellington
- High performance and specialist engineering products
- Full time on the road business development role
This Mount Wellington based company is the New Zealand master distributor for the products of a multi-national organisation which is a world-wide leader in the manufacture and distribution of industrial gasket components.
Providing both high-performance fluid sealing and pipeline solutions as well as associated gasket products, the business has an emphasis on safety, longevity, and productivity; working in partnership with our distribution network to understand their unique gasket challenges and respond with innovative solutions that keep people safe.
The company has created the opportunity for an experienced sales/business development Sales Engineer to take on a role that is based in Auckland but requires approximately half of the time out of town.
The key challenge for the right person will be to achieve sales and margin targets by maintaining and growing existing clients, and by developing new markets and clients in association with our distributor network. Particular emphasis will be placed on specialist seals (e.g. inflatable) and in specific markets such as pharmaceuticals and food and beverage.
In addition to having proven business development experience, and enjoying that aspect of their role, candidates should also ideally have:
- At least five years of successful business development experience in an engineering-type industry with a client base that includes food and beverage and pharmaceutical businesses
- A strong working knowledge of gaskets and specialist seals
- A good awareness of engineering equipment such as presses and CNC equipment
- An engineering qualification
- The ability to understand and have the communication skills to explain technical concepts and solutions
- Willingness to travel
- A passion for providing solutions while dealing primarily with wholesale clients
- A conscientious and professional attitude
You will need to enjoy the structure of a small company dealing with specialist products, and happy to work with minimal supervision.
Ideally, you will need to be naturally very well organised and accurate, wanting to learn about the product range and the solutions they provide for all customers you deal with.
