ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a rare opportunity to step into an existing territory with strong foundations and build on its performance, deepening relationships and driving long-term value. You will build, grow, and manage a South Island territory, selling service plans and preventative maintenance solutions to industrial clients.

What you’ll be doing:

• Engaging directly with industrial clients across the South Island, building long-term relationships and becoming their trusted advisor for service solutions.
• Selling tailored service plans, preventative maintenance packages, and parts & labour solutions that keep critical equipment running smoothly and efficiently.
• Managing your own call cycle and territory strategy, with the autonomy to plan your day and prioritise high-impact customer interactions.
• Educating customers on the value of up-time, reliability, and proactive servicing, helping them avoid costly downtime and improve operational performance.
• Collaborating with technical teams and service engineers to deliver seamless, high-quality support that exceeds customer expectations.

ABOUT YOU

To excel in this role, you’ll bring grit, positivity, and a hunger to succeed. You’re a relationship builder who thrives on autonomy and is energised by the road.

What you’ll need to bring:

• Experience in service or technical sales, ideally in compressors, HVAC, automotive, or industrial equipment – you understand the value of selling a service, not just a product.
• Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to connect with clients from the workshop floor to senior management.
• A resilient, can-do attitude, with the grit to overcome challenges and the drive to keep pushing forward, even when the path isn’t easy.
• Technical aptitude and curiosity, with a willingness to learn the ins and outs of complex machinery and how to position service solutions effectively.
• Comfort on the road, you thrive in the field and enjoy being out with customers.
