About The Role: 

As the NZ Business Development Manager, you will play a pivotal role in expanding the presence in the market by actively seeking new business opportunities and cultivating partnerships with commercial entities.

• Experienced in B2B sales (3+ years), ideally in construction, industrial, or commercial services
• Skilled with proposals, tenders, and building rapport with everyone from tradies to CEOs
• A self-starter who doesn’t need hand-holding
• Tech-savvy – Salesforce, MS Office, CRM tools? You’re all over it.
• Practical, adaptable, and energetic – you’re just as comfortable on-site as in a strategy meeti

The Extras That Will Help You Shine:
