Alford Hydraulics & Engineering is looking for an experienced and motivated National Sales Representative to join our team and play an important role in the continued growth of our Australian manufacturing business. We are looking for a genuine go-getter — someone who enjoys talking to people, building relationships and seeking out new business opportunities, while taking pride in looking after an established client base.
You will have strong sales ability combined with practical mechanical aptitude, ideally gained through experience with mobile or industrial equipment, machinery, engineered products, components or mechanical systems. Previous hydraulic cylinder experience is not essential. If you understand machinery, know how to sell and have the drive to learn our products, we want to hear from you.
About the Role:
- This is a national sales role, working with existing and prospective clients throughout Australia.
- Your role will combine office-based sales, client visits, business development and interstate travel.
- You will represent Alford in the marketplace, take ownership of client relationships and actively identify opportunities to grow the business.
- Travel throughout Australia will be required, including client visits, trade shows and industry events.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Developing new business and expanding Alford's national client base.
- Building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with existing clients.
- Proactively identifying and pursuing new sales growth opportunities.
- Visiting clients and prospective clients throughout Australia to understand their businesses, equipment and requirements.
- Working with clients to identify the right product or solution for their application.
- Maintaining regular client contact and delivering the high level of service Alford is known for.
- Representing Alford at trade shows, industry events and client meetings.
- Managing your sales activity, reporting and pipeline.
- Working towards agreed sales targets and budgets.
Who We're Looking For:
- Is a genuine self-starter and doesn't need to be pushed to find the next opportunity.
- Has a proven ability to sell, develop business and build client relationships.
- Enjoys meeting people and learning about their businesses.
- Is motivated by finding new opportunities and turning them into long-term clients.
- Is confident communicating with people at all levels of a business.
- Has a practical, mechanically minded approach.
- Is comfortable discussing machinery, equipment and technical applications.
- Is organised, reliable and capable of managing a national client base.
- Is comfortable working independently while also being part of a wider team.
- Is willing and able to travel interstate as required.
- Takes pride in their work and the company they represent.
- Understands that great sales relationships are built on trust, service, reliability and follow-through.
Your Background:
Hydraulic experience is not essential. Experience within agricultural machinery, transport equipment, industrial machinery, mechanical equipment, engineering, manufacturing or a related industry would be highly regarded. What matters to us is that you can sell, understand machinery, build genuine relationships and recognise an opportunity when you see one. If you've got the right attitude, sales ability and mechanical understanding, we'll teach you the Alford product.
What We Offer:
- A national sales role with an established Australian manufacturer.
- The opportunity to represent a company celebrating 60 years of Australian manufacturing.
- A proudly Australian owned and operated business.
- Australian-designed, engineered and manufactured products.
- An established client base with genuine opportunity for further growth.
- Support from our Business Development, Technical and Management teams.
- A varied role combining business development, account management and travel.
- The opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the future growth of the business.
- Salary commensurate with skills and experience.
