Help Build Something New

United Steel has recently established a new steel processing and distribution facility at Western Junction, Launceston, and we are looking for a Sales Representative who wants to be part of its growth.

About The Role
n
Reporting directly to the Branch Manager, you will be responsible for developing and growing customers across Launceston and Northern Tasmania.

There will be existing relationships to manage, but a major focus of the position is new business development.

Our target markets include:
n
n
Structural steel fabricators
n
Commercial and industrial builders

About You
n
Steel industry experience would be valuable, but we are equally interested in someone with the drive and commercial ability to develop business.

You may currently work in steel, construction, building products, engineering, manufacturing or another B2B environment where relationships and technical understanding matter.

n
n
B2B sales, account management or business development experience

A demonstrated ability to find and win new customers

Confidence approaching recent businesses and developing relationships from the ground up

The ability to understand customer problems and develop practical solutions
n
Good organisation and follow-through
n
A willingness to spend time in the market rather than behind a desk
n
A current Australian Driver Licence

n
Most importantly, we want someone who is curious, commercially driven and comfortable creating opportunities rather than waiting for enquiries to arrive.
n
Why Join United Steel?
n
This is an opportunity to join the business at an important stage of its development.
n
Rather than stepping into a mature operation where everything has already been established, you will have the opportunity to help build the customer base and shape how we take our growing capability to market.
n
You'll have:
n
n
A newly established steel processing and distribution facility behind you
n
Significant investment in local processing capability
n
A broad product range across reinforcing, structural, plate and tubular steel

Genuine opportunities to develop new customers and markets

The ability to see the customers and business you develop translate directly into branch growth
n
A stable full-time position based in Launceston
n
n
Most importantly, we want a sales role where you can get into the market, win business and have visible impact on the growth of an operation, we would like to hear from you.
n
United Steel is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and identities.
n
Prospective candidates will be required to provide proof of legal work rights and may be required to undertake relevant, role-appropriate pre-employment screening.
