Business Development Manager (BDM) - Pumping solutions

Business Development Manager (BDM) – Pumping Solutions

Location: Brisbane, QLD (preferred)
Salary: $100,000 - $120,000 base + Profit Share + Vehicle
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Sponsorship Available for the Right Candidate

We’re seeking a hungry and driven Technical Sales Representative to break ground in a new market for a respected Australian business specialising in custom pumping solutions. With a fully equipped workshop and in-house engineering capability, the business is now expanding into a brand-new territory – and you’ll be the one leading the charge.

If you’re a motivated junior with some face-to-face sales experience, eager to take the next step and be coached into a high-performing sales career – this is your chance.

About the Role

This is a pure business development role. There is no set portfolio to inherit – just a handful of warm leads, a few open opportunities, and a blank canvas to make your mark. You’ll be supported and trained in the technical sales process and the product offering, with guidance from experienced team members.

You'll focus on building relationships across up to 200 potential customer contacts, from an initial base of around 15 key accounts. The team typically makes 50 calls and 8+ site visits per week, though expectations for you will be scaled and supported as you grow into the role.

This position is Brisbane-based, with some travel to sites in Mackay, Mount Isa, and Gladstone.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new business opportunities in pumping solutions across mining, industrial, and related sectors

• Make outbound calls to warm and cold prospects to introduce the business and understand customer needs

• Build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders – typically 150–200 contacts across 15+ accounts

• Conduct site visits to understand application requirements and consult on technical solutions

• Work closely with the workshop and engineering teams to deliver tailored customer outcomes

• Commit to ongoing training, development, and process-driven sales activity

• Track activity, pipeline, and results in alignment with performance goals

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2 years of face-to-face sales experience (technical/industrial preferred but not essential)

• A true hunger to learn, grow, and succeed in a new business development role

• Comfortable making phone calls and engaging with new people

• Coachable, process-driven, and eager to follow a structured sales approach

• Confidence to tackle a new territory and grow into a senior-level sales role

• Mining or industrial experience a plus – but not essential 

• Engineers with strong communication skills are welcome, provided they want to sell

• Must be based in or willing to relocate to Brisbane

What’s on Offer

• Base salary of $100,000 - $125,000 + Profit Share

• Fully maintained company vehicle

• Ongoing training and mentoring

• A chance to build your own territory and career path

• Sponsorship considered for the right candidate

This is a rare opportunity to be at the ground floor of a new division, with all the backing of a solid company and a fully equipped workshop behind you. If you’re ready to take the leap and build something meaningful, we want to hear from you.
