Business Development Manager – Grounds Maintenance & Property Services

Canham Gardening & Maintenance – Gladesville NSW

Sydney | $90K–$100K base + super + uncapped commission (OTE $120K–$150K+)

Bring Your Relationships to a Business That Delivers

At Canham Gardening & Maintenance, we provide grounds maintenance, strata cleaning and property services to strata schemes, owners corporations and facilities managers, as well as corporate, industrial, government, hospitality, healthcare and childcare sites — pubs, restaurants, hospitals, day cares and other commercial gardens — across Sydney. We're a growing, family-owned business — reliable, proactive and easy to deal with — and we're ready to grow further.

You Don't Sell Like a Salesperson

No hard pitches, no scripts, no need to dominate the conversation. You'd rather listen than talk. Before you mention what we offer, you're asking about their site, their committee or their stakeholders, their headaches — because you actually want to understand the problem. That's the style that earns trust, whether you learned it in sales, in strata management, or managing accounts for a large organisation.

Done With Strata Management, But Not With Strata?

If you've been a strata manager, you know the job: on call for every complaint, chasing committees for decisions, endless admin, and rarely any credit when things go right. This role lets you keep what you're positive at — the relationships, the industry knowledge, the credibility with committees and facilities managers — without the after-hours calls, the compliance grind or being everyone's first point of blame. You bring the network and the know-how; we bring the operations team and the service delivery behind you.





Already Selling in This Space?

If you're an experienced BDM with a book of strata and property relationships, this is a genuine role with real earning potential — not a stepping stone. You'll own your pipeline, build your own portfolio and be rewarded for the long-term value you create.

Coming From Industrial, Corporate, Government, Hospitality or Healthcare?

If you've worked in facilities, procurement, account management or business development for a large organisation with multiple sites and an ongoing grounds or contractor spend, you know how council and government grounds contracts work, or you've got relationships across hospitality, hospitals, day cares and similar facilities — we want to talk. You understand what these clients need and how they buy; we can back that with the operations team to deliver against it.

The Role

You won't be cold-calling strangers. You'll be:

Reactivating and building on relationships you already have across strata, property, corporate, government, hospitality, healthcare or childcare

Introducing our services to strata managers, committees, owners corporations, facilities managers, site managers, council/government contacts, venue owners and managers, or hospital and day care facilities staff

Running site visits and scoping conversations





Working with our operations team to shape proposals and close agreements — including formal tenders and RFP responses where required

Growing a pipeline of recurring, long-term contracts

What Success Looks Like

A solid pipeline of warm conversations within 60 days

First contracts signed within 90 days

A growing base of recurring business built on trust and relationships, not cold outreach

What We're Looking For

Real relationships with strata managers, committees, owners corporations or facilities managers — or facilities/procurement contacts at large corporate or industrial organisations — or contacts within council or government grounds/property contracts — or relationships with pubs, restaurants, hospitals, day cares or similar facilities

Experience in strata management, property or facilities management, corporate account management, government/council procurement, hospitality or healthcare facility management, or business development selling into any of these

A natural, low-pressure style — curious first, solutions second

Organised, reliable follow-through — you do what you say you'll do

Whether your edge is sales skill or industry knowledge, we'll back you on the rest

What You'll Get

$90K–$100K base + super

Uncapped commission (OTE $120K–$150K+)

Company vehicle or vehicle allowance

Mobile phone and laptop

A real say in how the business grows

Autonomy, backed by an experienced operations team

The chance to build your own portfolio in an industry you already know

If you know this world and the people in it — strata, corporate, industrial, government, hospitality or healthcare — we'd love to talk.
