Commercial Manager - Business Development
Drive Growth.
Build Relationships.
Shape the Future of a Growing Australian Drilling Business.
GeoDrill Australia is a proud family-owned, Queensland-based drilling company delivering RC, diamond and coal drilling services across Australia.
From humble beginnings, we've grown into a respected, ISO-certified contractor with strong, long-term contracts across Tier One mining houses and the junior exploration sector.
We operate nationally, employ our people directly (no labour hire model), and pride ourselves on professionalism, performance and strong client relationships.
With continued growth across exploration, coal and mineral drilling, we are now seeking a high-energy, commercially driven leader to step into the role ofCommercial Manager- a true business development and revenue growth role.
This is not a desk-bound tender coordinator position.
This is a front-foot, relationship-driven, pipeline-building role.
The Opportunity
As Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for driving sustainable revenue growth across exploration, coal, mineral and water drilling services.
You will:
Identify and pursue new mining and exploration opportunities
Build strategic relationships across Tier One miners and junior explorers
Maintain and grow our existing client base
Drive disciplined pipeline management and forecasting
Lead tender submissions and commercial positioning
Provide forward visibility of secured and forecast work to the Executive Team
Represent the company professionally at industry events
You will work closely with our General Manager and operational leadership to ensure alignment between sales activity and operational capacity.
What Success Looks Like
We run a structured, KPI-driven business development system.




Success in this role includes:
Consistent outbound business development activity
Strong CRM discipline (Pipedrive)
A maintained weighted pipeline 3-4x revenue target
Regular new client meetings and chance creation
Minimum tender submission cadence per quarter
Strategic coverage across commodities and regions
If outreach isn't logged, it didn't happen.
If the pipeline isn't updated, it doesn't exist.
We value disciplined execution as much as energy and personality.
About You

You likely bring:
A strong sales or business development background
Experience in mining, drilling, exploration or heavy industry (Industry experience is preferable)
Confidence engaging with technical and operational stakeholders
Strong relationship-building capability
High personal accountability
Comfort working with structured KPIs and reporting systems
Willingness to travel regionally and nationally
You understand that drilling contracts are won through trust, performance credibility, and consistent follow-up - not just pricing.
