Join a Global Leader in Engineered Mobility Solutions

Are you a motivated sales skilled who enjoys being out in the field, meeting customers, understanding technical applications and developing long-term business relationships?

Do you thrive on identifying opportunities, solving practical problems and helping customers improve safety, productivity and performance through better engineered solutions?

As Blickle Australia continues its strong growth across Australia, we are seeking an enthusiastic and technically minded External Sales Representative to take ownership of a designated territory and help drive our continued expansion within the industrial and manufacturing sectors.

This is a genuine field-based sales role for someone who enjoys autonomy, responsibility and customer engagement while being supported by a growing Australian team and one of the world's leading manufacturers of premium industrial wheels, castors and engineered mobility solutions.

About Blickle

Blickle is a family-owned German manufacturer with more than 70 years of engineering excellence and over 1,300 employees worldwide. We are recognised as one of the global leaders in premium wheels and castors, supplying engineered mobility solutions to customers in more than 120 countries.

Since establishing Blickle Australia in 2019, we have experienced strong year-on-year growth and continue to invest in our people, our customers and our future. Our products are trusted across a broad range of industries including manufacturing, defence, food processing, healthcare, logistics, mining and automation.

About the Role

This is a field-based territory sales position working remotely within your designated region.

You will take ownership of developing and managing your territory through a balanced combination of new business development and existing account growth. Your focus will be on building strong customer relationships, identifying opportunities and providing technically appropriate mobility solutions that help customers improve their operations.

Success in this role comes from spending time in the market. You will regularly visit manufacturing facilities, warehouses, engineering workshops, production plants and industrial sites to better understand customer applications, equipment and operational challenges.

You will work closely with a wide variety of stakeholders including engineers, maintenance teams, production managers, operations personnel, procurement teams and business owners.

A key part of the role is developing a deep understanding of customer applications and becoming a trusted advisor rather than simply selling products. You will learn how factors such as load requirements, operating conditions, floor surfaces, environmental conditions, ergonomics and equipment design influence wheel and castor selection and performance.

While experience with wheels and castors is not required, Blickle will provide comprehensive product, technical and application training to help you develop specialist expertise.

You will be supported by Blickle Australia's internal sales team as well as our technical and engineering specialists in Germany, enabling you to provide customers with industry-leading advice and solutions.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and execute a structured territory growth plan to maximise market coverage, customer engagement and sales performance.

- Identify, prospect and develop new customers, applications and market opportunities across industrial, manufacturing and related sectors.





- Manage and grow existing customer accounts through regular engagement, relationship development and identification of new projects, departments and applications.

- Conduct regular customer meetings, site visits and application assessments throughout the territory to better understand equipment, operating conditions and customer requirements.

- Build solid long-term relationships and become the key point of contact for customers within your region.

- Develop a deep understanding of customer operations, equipment, processes and mobility challenges to identify opportunities for improvement.

- Provide technical and application-based recommendations for wheels, castors and engineered mobility solutions.

- Assess factors such as load requirements, floor conditions, operating environments, ergonomics and equipment design to recommend optimal solutions.

- Manage opportunities from initial prospecting and technical discussions through quotation, negotiation, order placement and ongoing account development.

- Deliver product presentations, demonstrations and solution-based recommendations tailored to specific customer applications.

- Analyse existing customer data, sales history and purchasing trends to identify growth opportunities, dormant accounts, cross-selling opportunities and potential market gaps.

- Utilise CRM data, Microsoft Excel and other business tools to support territory planning, account development, customer segmentation and prospect prioritisation.

- Prepare and present professional sales presentations, technical proposals and business reviews using PowerPoint and other presentation tools.

- Maintain an active and well-managed sales pipeline, ensuring timely follow-up of opportunities and customer commitments.

- Accurately record customer visits, opportunities, projects, quotations and follow-up activities within the CRM system.

- Plan and execute efficient customer visit schedules, sales tours and travel itineraries to maximise territory coverage and productivity.

- Undertake occasional overnight travel as required to support regional customer visits, project development and territory expansion.

- Gather market intelligence and monitor competitor activities, industry trends and emerging opportunities within the territory.

- Collaborate closely with Blickle Australia's internal sales and customer support teams to deliver exceptional customer outcomes.

- Work alongside Blickle's German engineering and technical specialists on complex applications, projects and customised solutions.

- Continuously develop technical expertise through ongoing product, application and industry training.
