Southern Cross Truck Rentals – Smeaton Grange NSW

Southern Cross Truck Rentals (SCTR) is one of Sydney's fastest-growing commercial truck rental operators β€” and we're now looking for a high-calibre sales professional to help drive the next phase of our expansion. Whilst Sydney based we have operations across the whole eastern seaboard.

This is a genuine career opportunity for someone who has operated at the pointy end of fleet, transport or hire sales β€” someone who has earned the trust of Tier 1 and Tier 2 clients, knows how to build long-term commercial solutions, and isn't content to simply manage a territory. We want a hunter and a builder.

Competitive Package + Vehicle + Incentives

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Director of Business Services, you will be responsible for identifying, developing and converting major commercial accounts β€” with a particular focus on growing SCTR's fleet solutions offering alongside our core casual rental operations.

You'll be given real authority, real autonomy, and direct access to senior decision-makers. What you do with it is up to you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Proactively hunting and converting new Tier 1 and Tier 2 commercial accounts across key sectors including logistics, construction, FMCG and infrastructure
  • Developing and presenting compelling, tailored fleet proposals that speak to the operational and commercial needs of major clients
  • Building and maintaining a robust pipeline β€” from initial prospect identification through to contract execution
  • Managing and growing an existing account base, identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities as the fleet expands
  • Collaborating with the operations team to ensure clients receive seamless delivery and service
  • Providing clear market intelligence and feedback to help shape SCTR's fleet growth strategy
  • Representing SCTR at industry events, trade meetings and networking forums

What We're Looking For

  • Proven B2B sales track record β€” specifically within transport, truck rental, fleet hire or a closely aligned industry
  • Demonstrated experience engaging with Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies at a commercial, procurement or operational level
  • Strong understanding of trucks, trailers and commercial vehicle applications β€” you can hold a credible technical conversation with fleet and transport managers
  • Ability to develop and present structured, professional proposals that win business on value, not price
  • Outstanding relationship-building skills β€” you build trust quickly and maintain it for the long term

The Mindset We're After

  • Competitive, driven, and self-managing β€” you don't need to be told what to do next
  • Commercial thinker who understands the deal behind the deal
  • Confident presenter who can engage a boardroom just as effectively as a depot manager
  • Someone who wants to grow with a company β€” not just fill a role

About Southern Cross Truck Rentals

SCTR is a Sydney-based commercial truck and trailer rental operator with a growing fleet and a strong reputation for reliability and service. We work with businesses of all sizes β€” from owner-operators through to national logistics operators β€” and we're expanding rapidly across Greater Sydney.

We're not a corporate behemoth with layers of bureaucracy. We're a hands-on, entrepreneurial business where the right people get real responsibility and real rewards. If you want to be part of something that's building, not maintaining β€” this is it.
