A privately-owned custom home builder in the Latrobe Valley is looking for an experienced sales professional to convert strong inbound enquiries into contracts, and to build proactive relationships with developers, agents and the local community. There's solid demand already coming through an active display home, this role adds a genuine outbound capability on top of that, backed by a full specialist team so you're never selling alone.

What you'll be doing

- Working warm, inbound enquiries through to signed contracts– considered, relationship-led sales over 6–12 months, for builds in the $700K–$1M+ range

- Building your own pipeline through the community, not just working what walks in the door

- Keeping the CRM honest– proper pipeline tracking, not an afterthought

- Making sure every display home visitor is captured and followed up

- Mentoring junior team members as you settle in

- Working five days including one weekend day, with a weekday off in lieu

What you'll bring

- A real sales track record, 5+ years is ideal, built on trust and follow-through rather than fast closes

- Experience selling something considered and high-value to everyday people.



We'll also consider a residential construction-adjacent background– building products, materials or services where reading plans and preparing quotes is part of your day-to-day

- A self-starter's instinct for generating your own leads rather than waiting on the phone to ring

- The presence to sit across the table from someone committing $700K+ and be taken seriously

- Either you're already within reach of Traralgon, or genuinely keen to relocate to the region

You'll never be selling solo– design, estimating and contracts back you on every deal, and there's a fully maintained vehicle that comes with the role. It's also a reliable place to land: staff here tend to stay 8–15 years, not months, which says something about how the place is actually run day to day. You'll be working with clients investing in a fully custom, high-end build, and you'll have real say in how the outbound side of the business gets built and not just following someone else's playbook.
