Sales & Business Development Representative

This is a hands-on sales role with a solid focus on building relationships, developing new business and growing existing customers. Reporting directly to the Sales Manager, you'll work closely with the wider Padman Group team to develop opportunities and drive sales across both Padman Water Solutions and Padman Automation. You'll work with farmers, irrigation businesses, contractors and other industry stakeholders to understand their requirements and identify where Padman Water Solutions and Padman Automation can provide the right solution. With the support of our experienced internal teams, we're looking for someone who can take ownership with customers and opportunities from the initial enquiry through to the sale and beyond. No two days will be the same. One day you may be visiting a farm, the next following up a major quote, attending a field day, discussing an automation solution with our technical team or working with a customer to identify their next project.
