Business Development Manager – Electrical Sales
Build relationships.
Grow business.
Love what you do.
Do you thrive on building genuine relationships rather than chasing cold leads?
Are you the type of person who enjoys getting out from behind a desk, visiting customers, solving problems and becoming the person they call first?
If so, we'd love to hear from you.
At MATelec Australia, we're looking for an energetic and motivated Business Development Manager to join our growing Electrical Sales team, taking ownership of our Far North Queensland territory spanning from Rockhampton to Port Douglas.
This isn't your typical sales role.
We believe the best salespeople don't sell; they build trust, understand their customers, and create long-term partnerships that deliver value for everyone.
If you're passionate about people, enjoy being on the road, and love seeing the results of your hard work, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
Why MATelec?
We're proudly Australian owned and have spent 25 years building a reputation for innovation, quality and exceptional customer service within the electrical industry.
But what truly sets us apart is our people.
At MATelec you'll find:
A supportive team that genuinely wants you to succeed
A team-oriented culture where your ideas are valued
Industry-leading products you can be proud to represent
Dedicated Business Development Support to take care of much of the administration, allowing you to spend more time where it matters most... with your customers.
A business that's continually investing in growth, technology and its people.
About the Role
Your office is wherever your customers are.
You'll spend the majority of your week visiting electrical wholesalers, developing strong partnerships, identifying opportunities and helping our customers grow their business while growing ours.
You'll also build relationships with contractors and electricians,



promoting MATelec products and driving sales back through our valued wholesaler network.
No two days will ever look the same.
One day you might be helping launch a new product, the next attending an industry event, running an in-store promotion or working alongside branch teams to increase product awareness.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys autonomy, variety and making a genuine impact.
What You'll Be Doing
Building lasting relationships with electrical wholesalers across your territory
Growing sales within existing customer accounts
Identifying opportunities to increase MATelec's market share
Visiting customers 4–5 days per week
Supporting contractors and electricians with product knowledge
Planning promotional activities and customer engagement initiatives
Attending industry events and trade shows
Working closely with our internal Sales Support team to maximise customer outcomes
Using CRM to capture customer activity and identify future opportunities
About You
You'll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people.
You'll also bring:
Ideally experience within the electrical, industrial or wholesale industry (highly regarded but not essential)
Exceptional relationship-building skills
Strong communication and influencing abilities
A proactive mindset and the ability to identify growth opportunities
Excellent time management and organisational skills
A willingness to travel throughout your territory
A current driver's licence
Most importantly...
You'll align with our values and enjoy working as part of a team that celebrates success together.
What's in it for You?
Competitive salary package
Generous Commission Structures
Ongoing training and development
A supportive leadership team
Reward & Recognition Program
A culture that genuinely values its people
If you're looking for more than "just another sales job" and want to join a business where relationships come first, we'd love to hear from you.
