Technical Sales Representative | Mining & Industrial Solutions
Programmed
Ready to take the next step in your sales career?
You have gained some experience with mining customers and are ready for greater responsibility, more technical depth and the opportunity to learn from an experienced industry professional.
PERSOL Executive has been exclusively engaged to appoint a Brisbane-based Sales Engineer for a global manufacturer of high-performance speciality lubricants. The appointment supports the business's continued growth and expansion in Australia.
As an established global original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the business develops specialist lubrication solutions for demanding mining and industrial applications. Its products help customers improve equipment reliability, reduce wear and support operational performance.
Working closely with the Mining Market Manager, you will receive hands-on mentoring, technical training and support as you develop customer relationships and pursue new business. This is an opportunity to build your commercial capability while developing expertise in solutions that address practical challenges on customer sites.
The opportunity
You will engage directly with maintenance, reliability, engineering and operations teams, spending time on site to understand their equipment, operating challenges and maintenance priorities.
With support from the Mining Market Manager and technical specialists, you will:
- Develop existing customer relationships and win new business across mining and industrial markets.
- Visit customer sites, assess applications and identify opportunities to improve equipment performance and reliability.
- Translate technical recommendations into clear proposals that demonstrate value to customers.
- Deliver product presentations and support customer training.
- Manage quotations, sales opportunities and customer development plans.
- Maintain your pipeline, forecasts and CRM records, following opportunities through to completion.
What You Will Bring
We are looking for someone ambitious, technically curious and keen to develop. You enjoy customer interaction, ask thoughtful questions and follow through on what you say you will do.
You will ideally have some experience selling products or services into mine sites, together with:
- At least two years' experience in technical sales, industrial services, engineering, maintenance, reliability or a related field.
- Mechanical aptitude and an interest in understanding equipment and its applications.
- The ability to build credibility with technical and commercial stakeholders.
- Initiative and the organisational skills to manage customer activity and opportunities.
- A relevant degree, diploma, trade qualification or equivalent industry experience.
- A valid driver's licence and willingness to travel.
Experience with bearings, rotating equipment, pumps, compressors, condition monitoring or lubrication would be valuable.
You may be looking to step up from internal sales, broaden your experience in field sales, or move from a customer-facing technical role into a commercial position.
Why consider this role?
You will join a global manufacturer investing in its Australian growth, with the opportunity to contribute directly to the development of its mining business.
Working alongside an experienced, high-performing Mining Market Manager, you will build your technical confidence and sales capability while taking ownership of customer relationships. Specialist training and exposure to varied industrial applications will help you develop expertise you can build a long-term career around.
Location and travel
The role is based in Brisbane and involves regular visits to metropolitan, regional and remote customer sites. Overnight travel is required for a minimum of one week per month.
